Gritty, yet soulful vocals stand tall amid beautifully messy guitars, reminding me a little of King's X, among others, but with a little more tonal variety on the strings. The vocals display a Motown quality, not unlike a modern rock James Brown (specifically in "Here Come the Bugs"). "Starbucks® Girl," a cute little ditty about a crush on an employee of the cafe, sticks out as the album's lighthearted song, as the lyrics ponder, "this could be love, or maybe it's just really good coffee... No one makes a tall mint latté quite like you." This is a pretty decent effort, written, played, and produced well, though not a ton different than the norm.
