Dont you remember what I said about them back then? Because I definitely dont. This album isnt nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be. I was familiar the title track from that topic a few years back and its easily one of my least favourites from the album. I dont actually know if its because I think the song is bad, or if Im just sick of it after hearing it so many times back then. In general Im not a fan of the piano-driven production this album is filled with, as much of the time its sound is just so bright and upfront that it really steals the stage from the other instruments in the worst possible way. Luckily, a lot of the music is saved by the clever lyricism. Draw A Crowd is one that always catches my attention and is probably my favourite on the album. Its main sections feature the piano playing a lot lower than it usually is, which lets it blend into the mix a little better, especially during the chorus which features the brilliant line If you cant draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall. I fucking love it. Thats about all I love on this album though. Theres something about the piano on this album that I simply cannot handle. Its odd because I certainly dont hate the instrument as a rule and there is nothing inherently offensive about the melodies here either but I cant get into it. I should also probably mention that I feel similarly about the vocals. While I can enjoy some of the harmonies when they occur, I do not care for Bens voice in the slightest. This is actually another one of those groups Ive always wanted to listen to an album from but never made the time. After listening I cant say Im a fan of the band or this album, but Im still pretty glad I listened to it, and it was actually fairly non-offensive to play in the background.
