Thanks to the reviewer who mentioned this was a free download when you install the amazon software... I was trying to figure out why I had purchased this since I have no recollection of doing so, or ever heard of the artist..
Very generic song, no redeeming qualities for me... Sounds like just about everything else out there... Honest Face
Nice moderate tempo song with light, pleasing harmony. Lead singer actually sounds like Julian Lennon. Lead guitar has slightly distorted sound and evokes memories of the late Rob Buck of 10,000 Maniacs. Recommended addition to your Easy Rock/Alternative library.
Wow, does Liam Finn ever sound like his dad. I wonder if that's how his voice comes out naturally or if he adopted it from hearing so much Crowded House while growing up.
Regardless, this is a not bad track. It is simplistic, but strong and over before you know it. It's inevitable to compare him to father Neil, so I'll just go ahead and do it: he doesn't quite have the John Lennon touch of dear old dad, but I say who cares. He's still pretty young, so there is room for improvement.
That said, I'm still curious to check out the EP from which this song comes. Let's hear it for free mp3s from Amazon.
This was a freebie from Amazon. I can see why. I can't possibly imagine anyone paying money to listen to this cacophony. It sounds like a screeching merry-go-round grinding under weakly androgynous vocals. This band may have other great songs (I really don't know), but this one is simply awful. I'm sure they're nice people, bless their hearts.
WTF. Why not tell me I got this crap for free. I was ready to cancel this account because I thought I got highjacked. Although after listening, I realized my brain did get highjacked for the 15 seconds I let this crap enter my head. I recommend deleting this air poison as soon as possible from your history. Don't want anyone to think you like this. I rather listen to the theme song from The Great Space Coaster. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YouTube it if your too young to know..
I was checking my MP3 account and noticed this prior entry back in September. I've no idea why it was there, other than what someone else said--you get it by default when installing the Amazon MP3 download plug-in.
Anyway, I listened to it and was... puzzled. Some kind of weird blend of 10,000 Maniacs and Julian Lennon. Needless to say, I think that this band chose the wrong track to be free. If it was one more compelling and interesting, maybe more people would buy their album. I chose not to. Life it too short... plenty of other music to investigate like "Miracles of Modern Science [EP]."
I don't know why everyone is dogging on this song, I really like it. I steer more toward heavy metal and alternative usually. This is a bit more light and poppy (is that a word?) but still worth the fact that it is freeeeeee.'
