28.
artist:Rooney
album:Rooney
i bought this album because someone on a message board i used to go to all of the time said everyone needed to own it. this guy was a Rooney enthusiast, and i was getting a lot of good musical advice from the board for a long time, so i figured id check it out. i listened to it for about a week and then never opened it again. it was good, it just didn't have any staying power for me.
I've seen them in concert. oddly enough, they are coming around with eisley (who i just wrote about in the last entry) in a few weeks. that might be a show worth checking out...if i could afford to go to shows these days. oh well. Rooney has been on the peripheral of my musical world for a long time...i just never really bothered a whole lot with them unless i had to. to me, they are that kid that you always run into at the same parties and with whom you share several mutual friends, but who you just never bother to talk to or get to know.
this CD isn't bad. i like the single, "I'm shakin" enough that ill sing along to the chorus when it comes on the radio, which it still does occasionally. i just don't love this album enough to listen to it. I'm betting that id have traded it in years ago if i didn't spill coffee all over the case, leaving the liner notes wrinkly and stuck to the case itself.
Rooney reminds me a lot of weezer. I'm not gaga over weezer like most of the people i know-as a matter of fact, after Pinkerton i think most of what they have released has been garbage. lucky for Rooney, i was thinking blue album weezer when i made that analogy, so they are safe. i just don't think this CD will come off of the shelf again for another eight years.
