Third Floor Strangers
Last Chance
Genre: Pasley Power Pop
3.75 out of 5
Highlights:
Angelina
Umm…”Don’t Blame It On Me”…that’s Dire Straits, right? I mean, you all hear “Sultans of Swing” all over that baseline, right? It’s not just me. That’s not interpolation, that’s a strait up rip.
Shame, too. It has all the markings of a College Radio hit.
This is Shoes and 20/20 and Romantics and, if we had the full album I might be able to “Discover” it. But, alas, we do not.
If I had a turntable, this album would be something I’d be searching for to help christen it.
I want to rate it higher, but with just half the album…I just can’t. If we had all the tracks, I bet this thing scores among the higher records of the year.
By the end of these tracks I realize who I am longing to listen to: Old 97s. I think I’ll fire up “Designs on You” as soon as this ends…
