With not many instruments, and some crazy thoughs thrown together comes this album. Bryk starts us off with his past. I don't even know who the hell Mark Turmell is, but I guess I do now after hearing that song. Fingers is a great piano ballad implying surviving lonliness by playing the piano and doing other activities. She Doesn't Mean A Thing To Me Tonight has a funky pop melody that reminds one of Fountains of Wayne with less production. I do not like his vocals on this one when he's stretching his voice. I Love You Goodbye is a nice smooth song of saying it's time to move on. BBW (Chunky Girl) is a poppy marching band type of song. Sounds kind of corny, but I don't think it's corny at all. It's a cute sounding song with a great melody and lyrics. Spadina Expressway is in Canada. He's creating imagery with a highway.
In Big Thinks Like This, he "talk sings" quite a bit. It's okay, and goes well with the tune, but doesn't spark my interest.
The bonus song starts off like a harp and turns into a happyish tune. It's one of my faves off the album about him submitting his work to record companies and such.
The rest of the songs deal more with his lonliness or about him not wanting or glad to be leaving significant others.
The only thing I don't like about this album is that sometims he likes to whine. You think he whines because it goes well enough with the song, but sometimes you wonder if it's because he doesn't have vocals for those certain portions of songs otherwise. I think FOW should try some kind of collaboration with Bryk, now that'd be interesting! + See Full Customer Review |  |
