 REGGIE
AND THE FULL EFFECT-
Under the Tray (Vagrant)
Now, when I first popped this cd into my cd player I have to say I was
pleasantly surprised. Reggie
and the Full Effect sounded a little different than what I had been
hearing lately. They were a
little emo, a little synth rock and a little dancey if I may say so.
I enjoyed the lyrics and I liked the voice behind it all.
Then there was a little break from the music to give the listener
the first of many "Drunk Girl at the Get Up Kids show".
I thought it was funny, but it didn't leave a lasting impression.
Then there was more music and it was still pleasing to the ear.
However, as time wore on in the cd I noticed it started to sound a bit
derivative and then finally it all become kind of annoying.
The songs began to sound the same and there were more "Drunk
Girl" episodes throughout the cd, and after a while it just wasn't
funny anymore. Though it's
not a bad album as there are some really good songs, such as, "Your
Bleedin' Heart" and "Megan 2k2", the album just kind of
grated on me. But, I will
give Reggie and the Full Effect a lot of credit for trying to be a little
different because of their musical sound.
Hopefully as the music progresses, the sound will become less
derivative and more pleasant. Not
a bad start, but not great.-Liz Haebe
