Do
you want me to buy you a new life? I don't want to, but Art
from Everclear does. And maybe while he's buying you a new
life you can buy him a new formula for songs.
The
problem with Everclear is they write the same song over and
over again. Everclear is a talented band, there is no question.
Even though their songs all sound alike, it is obvious that
the band is proficient with there instruments and capable
of writing complex songs. Art has a great voice, and the second
track on the album, "Black Jack" gives the hope that this
might be a great album. The song is peppy and kinda makes
you want to jump around, but then instead of maintaining this
energy, Everclear returns to the same old structure. The lyrics
are silly and simple, but not simple in a Nirvana way, simple
in a boring annoying way. Art needs to stop going yeah, yeah.
After
four songs, this album is noxiously repetitive. If you are
an Everclear fan you will probably like this album, if not
that spend your money elsewhere.
