Pros: Great sound, Decent lyrics, Generally good sound
Cons: Musically limited, Derivative of Earlier works
I'm beginning to think that people who read my reviews think I dislike Everclear. I seldom rate their albums - so far - very high and the reason for that is that I actually like Everclear. In fact, I think I might like the group quite a bit. The ...
Pros: Seamlessly professional corporate album, Art Alexakis has a voice to behold. Cons: All the heart and soul of Milli Vanilli. Lead singer has annoying issues he just can't let go. Unadultered use of cheesy string section. Lyrical use of the word "rock" as a verb.
In order to review this CD, I must first admit an embarrassing fact: I own this CD. I’ve purchased it, listened to it, and can even compare it to their other CDs because (even more embarrassingly) I own those, too. Everclear themselves are about as hip...
Pros: a couple of songs that are fun to sing along to Cons: musically very boring, lyrically uninspired, very generic run of the mill alt pop
On their 4th full length effort, and first of two that would hit record store shelves in 2000, Everclear went for the sales register juggular so to speak, hoping this album of more melodic, poppish songs would spur them into the stratosphere of...
Pros: Catchy, well-crafted, thoroughly enjoyable. Cons: Maybe (MAYBE!) a little too much sampling
In an era fraught with sappy pseudo-pop, I anticipated the release of Everclear's new album as if I knew it was going to be as good as I thought it would be. Albeit that this album IS a non-typical Everclear album, Art Alexakis made it clear that he had...
Pros: Quality my friends, Quality. Cons: Can be boring at times.
Hey kids,
Well, as you may have heard, a lot of the kids aren't too thrilled with their new purchase of "Songs from an American Movie Volume 1: Learning how to smile," By Everclear. I don't blame them. I imagine that if I put my...
Pros: Upbeat, catchy songs that can be listened to many times Cons: Some of the songs do not sound very original and/or could be developed more.
Very often in music an artist will follow up an especially pessimistic album with a positive, upbeat album. The Beach Boys did it, John Lennon did it, and now Everclear has done it. "Songs For An American Movie Vol. 1: Learning How To Smile"...
Pros: "Thriftstore Chair" Cons: Too Numerous to mention
I absolutely hated this record. Not dislike, absolutely hate this record.
Sure, my expectations were abnormally high. I waited all year long for this to come out. But before now, I've never been disappointed with an Everclear release. ...
Pros: Great poppy tunes, new direction for the band Cons: None
Bands, like people, change. Case in point: The Beatles, Metallica, and Pearl Jam. Many times, I think that fans expect bands to not change simply because they feel that if they can relate to the band in the present, a change could make them have a...
Pros: Shows you that you're not alone in feeling like a loser. Cons: Makes you feel like a loser.
I have to admit something; this is my first Everclear album, and I bought it basically of the song "Wonderful" that's playing on the radio now. So, I thought all of their songs are like that, and I was in for a big surprise. YES, all of their songs are...
Lately, I’ve been craving an Everclear fix, so I was extremely exited when “Wonderful” was released and even more so for the full album. But, honestly, it took all my might to listen to this album all the way through the first time. There’s been talk...
I've heard it called "too pop" and "corny" and all that jazz, but I happen to REALLY like this album. In fact, Everclear has become one of my favorite bands. Ever since I heard a DJ on a local morning show talk about how amazing...
Pros: Catchy pop styled sounds Cons: Can be bland at times
Ok, First off I will start by saying this album is definitely more pop like than the last ones. How you feel about pop music will really influence your choice on weather or not this is a better CD than the last ones. I don't mind pop music, so keep that...
Pros: Everything about this album Cons: It has to end
I have two Everclear albums. I absolutely loved "So Much For The Afterglow", so I had high expectations for their newest release "Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 1: Learning How To Smile". This disc met and exceeded every one...
Pros: Art's brilliant lyrics. Cons: Not the hard sound of Everclear that I like
Hey everyone, chill on the negative comments! Songs From an American Movie Vol. One is just another version of Everclear. I, too, was surprised at the "new" Everclear at my first listen. But its not as strange as it might first seem! If you...
On their fourth release for Capitol Records, the Portland, Oregon band reveal an expanded musical range and willingness to kick down new doors, demons...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
