Green Sweater Society is a local band of straight up rock. Their songs are catchy, fun and good to dance to. Very rhythm driven, but still full and fun. All the members of the band are extremely talented, and the EP sounds clean and musically sound. The lyrics are nothing heavy or deep, but still well-written, and they add to the generally upbeat mood of the album. Of the five songs, four have a very similar vibe, which is probably the biggest downside to the EP. Although it's enjoyable, it seems the band could have more depth in their sound, especially when the fifth song is put into perspective. Water Walkers is slower, more introspective, and the band pulls it off very well. The more one listens to it, the better it becomes. If and when the band comes out with a full-length CD, it would be ideal to see more variety in the songs.
Highlights:
Opening riff of Constance, Please
To Entertain You-upbeat, inescapable, fun. Great drums.

Good critique. Everyone's been too nice. I do see your point on all remarks. We'll be recording our full length this fall and have been reflecting on some of the same issues, and I know we'll have a much more rounded sound, especially with the addition of our new bassist.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving this EP some attention. You rock.
