Standout Tracks: Poised And Ready / A Whole Lot Better / Don't Wanna Talk


Some pretty solid pop rock tunes, especially "Poised And Ready," however, I do feel some lines seem a little forced to rhyme at times and sound a little corny. My Old Familiar Friend is out today via ATO.


* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.
