Free Music Notes for Expecting to Fly
Free Music Review: Genuine, Melodic
Hit: 3 Stars
This band sounds like... something you haven't heard in a long time. Like early Rush or BadFinger. Maybe a bit like early Bowie too.
I can't jump out there with a fat 5 star rating like the fans have done... but I think I can be fair.
The slower, leisurely songs work well. I especially like track #10. It has nice timing of breaks, with smoother vocals, and tasteful instrumental mixes. I'd say the musicianship is quite good. Most of the album is uptempo, with enough variety among the tracks to keep your attention on it.
Nitpick time. The vocals are kinda thin and wavery, which could be an acquired taste for some people. I'm surprised how much I have to turn up the volume on some songs, to hear what's being said. (Maybe it was a problem with the mixing.) And the band tries to power chord their way out of the end of too many songs, I think.
But I don't feel like there are songs to avoid. It's a good CD, overall, and I'll be keeping it.
