Moving the guitars forward in the mix paid off in spades for , who continued with their familiar formula of mixing and on their sophomore album. Without straying at all from its roots, the band adds a little more to its sound a la , which makes for a more consistent set of songs than last time. Not to mention that the stars shine brighter than they did last time around: alone should have become an instant classic, but following minor rotation on stations, the song -- and the band with it -- was delegated a cult status, compared to the likes of contemporaries . ~ Jeremy Ulrey
