track #

1. The Better Life Straight ahead rocker, but nothing out of the ordinary. Rating: 5/10

2. Loser Another thick track that isn’t a spoiler. The song goes off with much ado about nothing. 5/10

3. Kryptonite Heard it before. 4/10

4. Life Of My Own Next. 4.5/10

5. Duck And Run 4/10

6. By My Side At least worth writing about, even if only for a tagline. It’s pretty good. 6/10

7. Down Poison Reminds me too much of those simple, plain, lame ’80’s metal tracks. 3/10

8. Smack 4/10

9. Not Enough 4/10

10. Be Like That The only track that doesn’t sound like the others. Thank goodness. This Counting Crows impersonation isn’t half bad. 7/10

11. So I Need You Another curveball. These are coming a bit too late. After suffering through nine tracks that sound too much alike, these last two tracks just can’t save the album. 6.5/10

No track begs me to sit up and take notice. I rolled through this album without a hint as to how I could enjoy it. I tried. I worked out to it and still no inspiration. The more you listen, the more it all starts to sound the same.
