Pre-listening Notes: Canadian rock, how typical Buffalo of me. Sam Roberts has been around for a while, but I've never listened to him. This is his sixth album, so I'm behind the curve. But, he's a Juno award winning guy, so at least Canadians love him. That's about all I know before hitting play.
Initial Reaction: Well, it's another one of those modern indie rock band sounds, that I could picture being on the radio. He has a pretty good voice and the music is upbeat and somewhat dancey.
Random Thoughts: This is pretty standard indie rock, which isn't a terrible thing, it just doesn't seem to have much to set it apart from all the other bands doing the same thing. There isn't a ton of range to the songs. I'm not entirely disliking this, but so far it is doing nothing to make me think I'll be back for repeated listening.
Final Reaction: There wasn't anything particularly great or bad about this, I enjoyed it more as I opened up a video game and played along with the music. It was competent Canadian indie rock that I could easily see played on the radio. This isn't a bad thing, it just isn't my thing.
Final Grade: 5.0/10
