Comments: I don’t want to be one to hate on this band, a band which has received some degree of mainstream success for their Weezer-like ways. The vibe I get from this album is glossy safety. “This Too Shall Pass” has been done before and turns out to be just as shitty as when Weezer did it. Seriously, though, this is bad and way way too repetitive. Also, I would like to bring up a band that’s much much better at its craft than OK Go. The Lovely Feathers do the glam thing, but their expertise relies on a no-bullshit attitude. If you want a good piece of disaster check out “Before the Earth” which is so ridiculous, it’s already a candidate for worst song of the year. Don’t buy this album unless you want a joke. I guess the only track worth checking out would be album closer.
Final Grade: D+ (69)
