New Music – The Long Winters
General, New Releases April 28th, 2006I recently picked up the new Long Winters album, Putting The Days To Bed. Here is the track listing for those of you who are interested:
1. Pushover
2. Fire Island
3. Teaspoon
4. Hindsight
5. The Sky Is Open
6. Honest
7. Clouds
8. Rich Wife
9. Ultimatum (new version)
10. Departure
11. Seven
It’s a decent album, but I don’t think I’m hearing greatness. I’ve had a few listens and nothing really stands out, there just isn’t much of an edge here, (maybe it will play better live, who knows). I think the main problem with this album is that lacks direction, it seems like they couldn’t decide on what their core sound was and what came out was a warmed over pop album (but hey, what do I know, people love Fountains of Wayne). The new version of Ultimatum, is, in my opinion, a disappointment. They took what was a nice song and turned it into a generic rocker.
