Album of the Day: Broken Bells

Honestly, the first thing that attracted me to this album was that Silver Platters painted the album art on their wall (as they do with big releases every few weeks).  Little did I know I’d already heard Broken Bells in the commercials on television.

Boy did I ever.  The entire album, start to finish, is a sort of seamless drone of music.  It’s certainly tolerable.  It’ll be ever-so retro in twenty years.  Congratulations guys. Unfortunately, if you’ve heard one or maybe two songs that stick out, you’ve heard them all.

Since the album review is a start-to-finish listening analysis, I’d say give it a listen or two, and that’s about all you’d need.
