The opening track "Little Discourage" draws the listener in immediately, as does "I Don't Have the Map" and "These Wooden Ideas." Why? Because they've got verses that lay back a bit and loud, melodic choruses with balls. "Roseability," "Let Me Sleep" and "Listen to What You've Got" all have a New Order/Depeche Mode feel but with more grit. The crowning jewel is "The Bronze Medal," a ballad about coming in third place and dealing with the regret of not winning it all. The production is perfect for this record. There are no bells and whistles, just a straight-ahead rock approach that lets the songs and the band speak for themselves. My advice is to pick this one up and blow out your speakers with it. ~Mike Farley |
