By Changing Your Angle
Posted December 10, 2007
By fearfulsymmetry,
After buying this album and giving it a couple of spins it found its way into my CD rack and seemed destined not to resurface. My first impression was very ho-hum. To my ear every song seemed almost indistinguishable from the next, and certainly indistinguishable from the milieu of current rock at the time. It wasn't terrible or anything, but not that good either and certainly forgettable. On a whim, I recently decided to give it another chance and I played it again with much the same response...until I got to the last song. Tucked neatly away at the end of this CD is a gem of a song called "It's Like Me" which not only grabbed my attention but impressed me in every way that matters. On the strength of that song alone Sea Of Faces was added into regular circulation and I noticed that the more attention I paid this album the better it got. After a while the substance of this album became evident and the strength of some of the other songs began to shine out. I doubt this CD will ever become a favourite, but it certainly contains some quality songs and it does seem to grow on you. I guess you just have to give some albums serious attention and not always expect to be blown away straight out of the gates.
Personal Highlights: Let You In / Sea Of Faces / It's Like Me
Personal Low Points: Troubled Heart / Passion
