 LovedrugEverything Starts Where It Ends Release Date 2007 03 06 Label The Militia Group Rating:  Delayed significantly by Lovedrug's abortive leap to the majors (they were released from their Sony BMG contract before they ever released a note for the label) and subsequent return to the indie that released their first album, Everything Starts Where It Ends doesn't suffer from the behind-the-scenes drama. Less self-consciously emo than 2004's Pretend You're Alive, Everything Starts Where It Ends maintains lead singer Michael Shepard's sensitive-guy persona, but in a much more assertively pop-oriented context. The combination of Shepard's occasionally mannered vocal delivery and the unapologetically radio-friendly leanings of the arrangements doesn't always work: his weirdly strangulated vocals on the thumping &"American Swimming Lesson" hobble a potential fist-pumper of a song, and he strains for a Thom Yorke effect on the atmospheric first single, &"Happy Apple Poison," but doesn't quite hit the mark. But at the album's most effective, as on the dramatic &"Ghost at Your Side" and the glam-rocking, piano-driven pop nugget &"Casino Clouds," Lovedrug marry the pop smarts of contemporary sensitive English lads of the Coldplay stripe to a more muscular American guitar rawk sensibility, a combination that largely avoids the excesses of both. Everything Starts Where It Ends isn't a worldbeater of an album, but it's a significant and encouraging step forward from its predecessor. Stewart Mason, Rovi |
