4of 5 Stars

A strange album for AMC, sort of a mix between United Kingdom & California but with Mark's more experienced lyrical matter. Guess that sounds pretty goofy, huh? It's not as focused as Everclear & Mercury, and the recording quality that was present in Mercury & San Francisco is missing. Don't like the big ol' rock drums. I wish these guys would record their drums w/o gates and reverb because the drummer is one of the most talented, under-rated I've heard. A lot of recording studios have forgotten what a good mic, preamp and room can do for capturing a performance. Really beautiful writing from Mark. The addition of Marc Capelle is a good choice. Vudi sounds rushed on this. I wish they had a budget to spend more time on their recordings. I think this is one of the greatest combinations of musicians with the 4(5)in this group. I'm so glad they're making music together. I give it 4 stars because they can do better. But nobody else has ever come close to the quality of this group that I've heard, and the more music I hear the more I beleive that may always be the case. They are American Music Club.
