The Last GoodnightPoison Kiss Release Date 2007 08 28 Label Virgin Rating: ![]() Don't let the Mohawk deceive you; the Last Goodnight play deliberate radio-friendly rock that, although delivered with a certain attitude, is far from the fleeting gimmicks of punk-pop. These are not your typical three-minute, three-chord snippets of rebellion that you might expect after glimpsing the album cover or seeing lead singer Kurtis John's 'do. Rather, Poison Kiss is a combination of Fastball's punchy organ/guitar mixture and Maroon 5's syncopated genius and occasionally dark lyrics. It fires on all cylinders, with a rhythmic tightness and an absolutely golden voice. None of the parts call particular attention to themselves, but the sum is one heck of a record. Their strengths shine brightest on their breakthrough single, &"Pictures of You," not to be confused with the Cure's alternative classic of the same name. The lyrics sum up images of life together in relationships, coming together in a made-for-radio chorus. &"Back Where We Belong" also comes off as catchy but fades slightly with the realization that it could easily be mistaken for Maroon 5's &"This Love." In some spots the lyrics shine, like on &"Incomplete" -- "If you didn't want the garden/Why'd you plant the seeds." In others they fall flat -- the groovy R&B beat of &"Good Love" wraps up with the superficial lyrics "Let's talk about good, good love." Take it for what it is, a fun spin around the block that leaves a smile on your face. Jared Johnson, Rovi |
