When I first heard Rory on the Spill Canvas extra cd,I though "Alright. A decent band picking up on Matchbook Romance and Brand New's first ablums". But after listening to the cd,I got a slightly immature vibe Brand New and Matchbook Romance never played off of. The majority of Rory's songs a very good, but certain harmonies echo Matchbook Roimance more than I'd like. And the center tracks of the album (being Doing the Lines of Conga, Tonight I just Don't Care, I'm Having a Candy Dinner, The Adventures of Me and Me) remind me more of the manufactured Simple Plan than the old Brand New. the song 'it's on senor...go!' has a lyrical essence of The Starting Line. I wish that they would've don't a bit more lead guitar, but other than that, Rory is quite talented, and sweet to the ears.

It is definately worth the purchase, having 7 out of 12 decent tracks in all.

I was more impressed with the non musical aspects of this album. The colorful album booklet has very artistic presentations of the lyrics. Several song titles themselves are entertaining, like "Tonight I Just Don't Care, I'm Having A Candy Dinner.". That track and "Doin' Lines of Conga" are the best tracks on the album. Conga has a story that with the feel of the game Clue or the thriller "And Then There Were None".

It's not so much the music is bad, just there's so much other good stuff out there.
