Fun, but meaningless

By Nathan,
Trevor McNiven (Thousand Foot Crutch) might have been bored with writing rock songs that might have been why we have FM Static, and their debut CD what are you waiting for.
FM Static does very well on their first album on the music. The punk is impressive the music flows along very cleanly, and it is very up-beat. The single "something to believe in" is the best sounding song on the album but, "defiantely maybe", "Donna" "three days later" and almost every song on the CD are good punk songs.
The one thing that isn't impressive is the lyrics. In most cases the songs are meaningless, talking about girls, school or making a commotion. When the songs do say something meaningful, the songs are pretty much useless, and there is nothing about God in there lyrics either. The song with the most depth is "something to believe in" which isn't great.
The punk is great, but it's unfortunate that Trevor McNevin doesn't put the put that much into FM Static, lyrics as he does Thousand foot Crutch.
