What I find interesting about this album, and this band
for that matter, is that I have no real point to trace it back to in terms of
what band Paper Lions sound most like.
That must mean that they have crafted their own unique sound, yes?
This has quite a bit of pop in the rock. I had a note initially of it sounding like
Superdrag, which is true on some level.
Later on, it can come across sounding like The Killers without the
synth, a version of The All-American Rejects without as much pop and, well,
just something like The Darkness if The Darkness didn’t completely suck.
Encountering these bands has always been great for
me. It’s something somewhat familiar,
yet altogether new also. It is in no
way another band that sounds like another band, which I get a lot of and that’s
not necessarily bad either. But these
types of bands do kill me when it comes to reviewing them because I can never
quite explain them. It’s like trying to
explain the color blue to someone without using the word “blue” or one of its
variations.
