Take It On The Road

I just finished listening to NRT's sneak peak at Ruth's new CD Anorak. First...very interesting title. After looking up the definition, I found I really liked the whole concept of the title. In case you do not already know it, here it is: (This is a wiki definition) In British slang an anorak is a person, typically a man, who is an enthusiast interested in information regarded as boring or unfathomable by the rest of the population. Why a man? That part I am not sure, but I imagine that a devotion to Christ might seem odd and boring. An anorak is also a parka. Pretty cool too because it keeps you warm and toasty during a good ole snowball fight or some other fun chilly weather activities. All good, I say.
I have to say that I had never heard of Ruth before, and I did a little looking up. I read some reviews that had said Ruth was like Nirvana, Radiohead, and Third Eye Blind. I can only say...maybe in their other CD, but that is okay. I loved those bands during their time.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this CD. I have listened to it here at least 6 times already. It is upbeat, and I would totally take it on a road trip. That is my highest compliment. Trust me. I don't put just anything in my car for those long hauls. I seriously think I am going to pick this one up. That is saying something too, because I am really careful about the music I buy. Nowadays financially I really have to be, but this is good. Great cover art too! Just sayin'.
Loved the lyrics, the drums, and the vocals. I wouldn't say every song was amazing, but I liked just about each one. If you haven't checked out the free preview...hurry up and do it before it is too late!
