Album Review
I first
heard of Love Coma after they had already came and went.
I noticed that Mike Roe of the 77's had contributed to
the project.
I've always liked his work so I thought I would check
out. This album
for some odd reason is back loaded with all of the best
songs at the end
of the album. I think this album would of hit me alot
sooner had the
order of songs been rearranged in a better order. For
example whats
probably the best song on the album "Tomorrow Takes Too
Long" is the
closing track. The song has an excellent groove. The
lyrics are primo,
and the mix is pretty close to being perfect on this
tune. Another
song where they hit full stride is "Between He and She"
Once again
this song is place towards the end. This song's guitar
really hits me
over the head. It's very atmospheric without getting
carried away.
It really works well with the lead singer's voice. I'm
afraid the
lead singer's voice. Will be the hardest obstacle for
most people
to get past. But once you get used to it it's not all
that bad.
There is a subtle beauty that the band really brings home
in most
of songs. Which does sometimes get lost on the upbeat
fast paced songs.
I think the band would of been better off. Just releasing
an album of
all mid-tempo songs. Which is by far their strength as a
whole. The
album conveys a sense of peacefulness. That really makes
you wonder
why this band called it quits in the first place. The
hip-hop
opening of "Speak of the Devil" is quite delightful. Once
again take a
guess where this song is placed on the album. The song
comes to a
close with a pleasantly long guitar solo. I know This
wasn't another
review telling you about the best band you've never heard
of.
Rather, I hope I told you about a band you've never heard
of. That
deserves some recognition for putting together a pretty
darn good album.
Not great but definitely an album I'll find my self
getting lost to time
and time again.
