I put that one on Friday nite to give it another listen, and took it out after about the 3rd song. It's not that I think it's BAD, because I don't- it's fairly slick, tuneful, pleasant enough- but it really just doesn't hold my attention for long. I guess bouncy pop stuff, no matter how well executed, all blends together in my ears. Fetch The Band of Blacky Ranchette's latest release- THAT one holds my attention all the way through, and then some.
