Rock and roll. Influenced by Tom Petty, Elvis Costello. It’s poppy and catchy stuff. Standard instrumentation of guitar, drums, bass, keys.
*My Favorites*: 2, 6, 9.
1. (3:47) Mid / Fast. Pounding piano intro with drumbeat. Rocking and loud. Guitar solo toward the end.
2. *(3:49) Mid. Guitar intro. Heavy Tom Petty influence. Lyrically, a nod to Gil Scott-Heron. Quiet and soft interlude.
3. (3:31) Mid. Upbeat, jangly song. Backing vocals, hi-hat, guitar propelled. Catchy, probably the ‘radio-hit’.
4. (3:39) Mid. Poppy and upbeat. Lots of hi-hat, guitar mainly low in the mix.
5. (2:57) Mid. Swirling keys, plodding drums. Almost a Franz Ferdinand vibe.
6. *(2:29) Mid. Guitar prominent, nice steady drumbeat. Piano solo, guitar solo. Cool and catchy.
7. (3:01) Mid. Drum heavy intro. Poppy, a bit of Wallflowers. Guitar solos.
8. (3:01) Mid. Kind of a pop tune with an underlying folksy vibe. Jangly guitar, nice drum work.
9. *(4:14) Slow / Mid. Methodical, with a jazz influence. Plodding drumbeat.
10. (3:38) Slow / Mid. Guitar intro leading into bass and drums. Epic sounding song, cool piano parts. Dramatic drumming. Big finish.
