Album Review
It takes a certain skill to write a good pop album, and on this sophomore effort, David Poe turns in a good, if not great, effort. With plenty of pleasingly psychedelic touches to color the tunes, he can go from the wistful ("Love Won't Last the Afternoon") to the headstrong ("Ringer") and still manage to cover much of the ground in between. It's only when he attempts a Sinatra-type croon on "You're the Bomb" that he comes a cropper — he simply doesn't have the subtlety of vocal chops to carry off what he attempts, even as gentle parody. Mostly, though, it's Neil Finn who Poe brings to mind on this album; perhaps a slightly unfortunate comparison, because Poe lacks a completely unique voice, and the killer writing instincts for a tune and hook aren't as finely developed as in his inspiration. Nonetheless, it's solid, workmanlike, and completely enjoyable.
Customer Reviews
Critic schmitic
iTunes prints some of its reviews from the hit-or-miss behemoth known as All Music Guide., which is a shame. The above reviewer, Chris Nickson, has written "unauthorized biographies" of Mariah Carey, Ricki Lake and Brad Pitt: he may not be the most qualified person to review music, especially that which was not made for the mainstream. As Kenneth Tynan said, "A critic is a man who knows the way but can't drive the car.” Check out this record. The songwriting is excellent, the production is creative and David Poe is in excellent voice.
Still holds up
Have to agree with the first reviewer. The iTunes 'review' doesn't do this album justice. Picked it up the year it came out and loved it. Now, I pull it out every few months to revisit and still enjoy the album as much as the first time around. Great songs, great songwriting, great atmosphere.
Glad I found this
Stumbled upon this and all I can say it thank god. How would someone find music like this without iTunes to browse?
