Review
Stratosphere...
Not bad,
that's basically all I have to say. But a man has to earn his free music I
suppose, so here it is; I've heard this record through about half a dozen times.
And couldn't describe one track to save my life. Not because it's bad, per se,
it just doesn't seem to ever take off. It's safe like putting on a life
preserver to eat soup. The music itself is good, absolutely; good vocals, great
instrumental work and crazy smooth production. But as a whole it plays like weak
tea, toothless with no balls whatsoever.
Did you
ever what the Backstreet Boys would have sounded like with electric guitars?
Well here it is - Stratosphere, and that's what gnaws at me about this record.
You can literally hear the talent being wasted.
One might
expect this music to be played in clubs and on mainstream radio, is what I guess
I'm trying to say, which the worst possible waste of talent there is is.
In spite of
this I've decided to give them a relatively high score, because they are good,
they just don't do it for Me. But if you like Queensr˙che and/or john Mayer you
might like this.
