CD Review: Rob Poppy -- Box of Laughs
“Freedom of Rhythm and Key” is, essentially, the violin solo in an early Dave Matthews Band song, where, yeah, maybe it’s okay for a bit, but sooner or later you end up wishing he would shut up so the rest of the song could continue. The instrumental interludes are interesting, in that maybe you wouldn’t have minded hearing them at Foley’s when your mom dragged you along dress shopping when you were 11. As a serious attempt, Box of Laughs is exactly that – laughable. As an audition tape for Nickelodeon, or a soundtrack to soccer mom consumerism, it’s pitch perfect. |
