cd review ... intercept "symphony for somebody else"...let me start off by sayin i had no preconceived notions about this band upon pressing the play button. all i went by was the streaming press page i was linked to. ....so i press the play button and bam.... super soft pop rock... i almost hate to say "pop rock" cuz that implies the band was "rocking" it. but nope... just strummin it out with a limp wrist and a semi country undertone.... not sure where they are from but im guessing the south. im also guessing they shop at american eagle... but any ways......the overall sound wasn't over produced like most of the "pop rock/pop punk" bands out now...this band sounds as if they could actually pull the sound off on stage... track three "last one to show" had potential with a "heavy" build up... but then...bang str8 back to wuss tunes... track four was the title track and he kept sayin " i just wanna be myself" over and over again...just shut up and do it. the fifth track almost gave em a 2 outta 5 with a sweet acoustic jammout part kinda like dave matthews or sumthin like that... this cd surely was "a symphony for somebody else"... somebody other than this guy. 01 outta 05. ------lodoublet
