I got the BOTAR CD from Streetlight gig from the european tour with RBF. You can buy them from their RISC webstore as well, but hell am I paying £10 shipping or whatever ridiculous it was…
New Suburban Legends album, I do like but I have mixed feelings about. It basically continues in the direction that Dance Like Nobody's Watching did which I feel if done well, would be cool.
I just feel there are some odd song choices on there. There's this kind of semi-acoustic reallly poppy song and this pretty much completely weird electronic drum and vocal one. And even a song with no horns. It all seems a bit strange. Although when they play it live they do use the horns. I just feel maybe a few of the songs could have been replaced with something that fits with the album as a whole. It doesn't feel like an album, more a collection of songs they wrote trying to determine a style they want to play in.
It does have some good, fun, really catchy songs. Maybe pick it up at a show, even just to show a bit of support. They got robbed of like 80k's worth of stuff last year…
