Bleach
Static
One of the label's true modern rock bands, Bleach, has increased songwriting continuity this time around, but also created is a greater opportunity to use more varied vocal styles. All the while, the band's penchant for catchy melody is maintained. The title track uses a danceable groove to convey the desire to adhere to God just as static cling sticks one's clothing together. The record could be considered good time alterno-pop, until the ballad, "Rundown Town," which reminds me a little of Plumb's "Penniless," with its mellow organ and forlorn narrative. Then the tempo kicks back into Bleach territory with the appropriately titled "Hurricane." Also cool is "Land of the Lost," for those who remember the Saturday morning show of the same name. In all, Static is a decent sophomore effort. [ForeFront/ Brian Vincent McGovern]
