Estimated Rating:

Have I heard of this artist? No
Have I heard anything by this artist? No
Average RYM Score: 3.10
Decent singalong rock. “Behind the Sun” is a nice acoustic ballad, and most if not all of the album is really catchy and pleasant. Nothing harsh, nothing that would sound out of place on the radio, but a hard enough edge to prevent the music being pop. Nice. The instrumental “Tanzania” is particularly good. For some reason, had I not known these guys were American I would have said Australian or maybe New Zealanders. They just give me that vibe. Overall, a really good album, if not actually a great one. Or maybe I should say, a great album though I can't quite put my finger on why it's great. Hey, any band who can write a song about a star from the silent movies era get my vote!
