CD ReviewsA nice big sound. Peter Olafson | La Jolla, CA USA | 08/20/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "A lot of powerpop bands come off tinny. Not this one. A thick slab of sound issues from Three Hour Tour's three releases (of which B-Side is the most recent) and much of the music quickly acquires an agreeable density. (Think of bands like Myracle Brah in its prime and Fuzzbubble.) Some of the 11 songs here bear that weight well. "I Wanted You Around," "A Lady Named Caroline," the title cut and crunching closer "What Made You Change" all carry a nice punch and I've played them over and over again ... but individually.
Why individually? Well, this big-sound approach has limits. It makes the songs seem longer than they are and a bit too much alike. Taken as a whole, I was kind of tired of the CD by the time it ended. But in smaller chunks, it's good hard-pop (as is Valentine's Day on 1969 and Home Again on Remix). Give it a test drive and I think you'll agree. " |
