I was expecting more...
by Phil Hatzenbuehler Portland, OR
Reviewed on November 5th, 2001
I bought this CD about a week after it came out. I was swayed by the low price tag and the buzz that was surrounding the band. I had heard many people giving thumbs up. Then I put it in my CD player. While they are very talented musicians, they have a lot of developing to do. Their songwriting is simplistic and cliched. Honestly, I don't hate this album, but I don't particularly like it, either.Let's face it, their blend of tattoos and up-tempo rock is something that doesn't exactly bring to mind "talent." IN fact, Kevin's voice does become quite irritating after just a couple of songs. Look at the lyrics. In the opening tune, "California" he rhymes "day" with "away." In the very next track, "Automatic" he repeats that rhyme with "today" and "away." To me it seems he is "lyrically challenged."
