Hmmmmmm. That's the sound inside my head when I popped in New Atlantic's The Streets, the Sounds, and the Love. That is the sound of deep contemplation on what exactly New Atlantic is trying to accomplish with their first full-length.
Hmmmmmm. The sound continues as I make my way through the ten songs that comprise this album. I hear pop-driven indie rock, but there is something missing. There is a lack of hooks; there is a lack of energy; there is no "x factor." You know what I'm talking about, the sound that grabs you and pulls you in. There is nothing here of the sort.
Hmmmmmm. The sound here is no longer that of deep thought. Instead, it is deciding whether to throw this CD out or try to pawn it off at a CD resale shop. Odds are they already have a dozen copies laying around
Hmmmmmm
