artist:jamisonparker
album:sleepwalker
i had such high hopes for this CD. it failed to meet any of my expectations. basically, it just fails.
the lyrics try so hard to be deep, but just come off as silly and over dramatic. i understand that this all happened for these guys (who, by the way, were two of the nicest guys i have ever met as far as musicians go) on the heels of the "emo" movement, but it just comes across as hokey. here's a video of the song i liked the best from this CD, recorded live at skate and surf several years ago. (this was also the day that i bought my jamisonparker hoodie from parker.)
it kills me that this CD was so unlistenable (laughable, even) because i really, really liked their first EP. I'm going to have to listen to that soon so i can talk about it.
i listened to sleepwalker. this was maybe the fourth time ever. it'll probably be the last. its just not good.
I also acquired this CD a few years back because I thought I would like it, based on the bands I was listening to at the time. I made it through once (I think) and never had any desire to listen to it ever again.
