Genre: Disappointing rock

Highlights:
All Good Things
Now we get to a band that, for me, is a big disappointment. First off, they are Canadian. Which means, as we all have come to know (or if you read ahead) as an exporter of music with some special sauce that seems to elevate even the most mundane to higher echelon with sheen or substance or something else.
Secondly, their name is the first word spoken by Gort the Robot in The Day the Earth Stood Still. And that has me yearning for New Wave-iness but instead what we get is second rate Beach Boys/Beatles tunes (which, let’s be honest, means Badfinger) and has me yearning for all those other bands.
