Shredding Paper reviews The Great Pop (2005)

How sad, and what a waste. There is so much potential that Erik Schmall presents with his pop rock group. But much of it is squandered by the use of programming that steals its thunder. On the songs where it’s used to a minimum, like “Drive An Uncle Through the Mountains” and “I Booked a Flight”, the songs are fun and strong. On most of the others, where it’s drowned in bleep and bloops, or that tinny beat, such as “When You Get Home” and “Jesus Kill These Bombs”, well for me, it’s practically unlistenable. Again, this is a shame, because I could have really enjoyed this CD. The songs themselves are good, and the production is fine (though the vocals need to be more up front). RBF
