Darker, thicker, less interesting Coldplay rock where the guitar occasionally aspires to death metal. Singer has speech impediment. Songs have standard structure with instrumental intro, repetitive melody, etc. 9 is ok.

1)Lots of bass, dark. Slow deliberate drums: Badum bum … bumbumbum. Two synched male voices come in singing slowly in semi-British accents.
2)Nice slow guitar with lots of reverb while guy sings as chords ring. There’s a horn in this track. It’s not bad.
3)Faster, more uppity guitar strumming. Poppier than first two. Boring like the song I wrote when I was twelve that sounded just like a thousand other songs. The organ breaks in after a couple minutes. Melodrama.
4)Beat plods along, sound quality sucks, sometimes the beat breaks out of the simple march and the guy starts singing.
5)Wants to be Tom Petty crossed with Green Day. The singer’s mouth is full of cotton and lemon juice. He probably drooled all over the microphone.
6)Dark again, like first track. Beginning full of guitar. Then the singer comes in, plaintive, probably complaining about something, but I can’t understand his words.
7)Very uppity axe strumming. Definitely took lessons from the Ramones. The singer has higher voice, squeakier, which peels in between segments of chuggachuggachugchug.
8)Slow guitar over progressive base line. Whiney man is back, with an echo. Breaks into a more hopeful, fuller sound when the organ comes in at 2:40.
9)The organ vamps on this one. Might be good for radio play. Coldplayish. Pleasant song.
10)Music from the beginning of the quirky haunted house movie. Bass plucks along as man sings. Drums come in, other singers join in, a chorus of choir rejects in the background. Turns into dark death metal song at 1:34 for a couple seconds before it ends.
