Love.45
Home > Music > Love.45 > Discography
Following up its self-titled debut album, Love.45 doesn't miss a power pop beat during "Just Lie to Me." Immediately noticeable are the sweet backing harmonies that litter the record. "Coming Undone" misses the mark, as its verses tend to be spliced into the song as an afterthought for the obligatory guitar solo. A slight problem concerns the repetitive nature of the tracks, each just slightly adjusted from the previous tune. Thankfully, a '60s pop feeling imbues "Wish That I Was Here," an above-average tune in the style of Starling or Bash & Pop. Guitarist Paul Trinidad Jr. and bassist Danny Elster shine on the hard rock groove of the nearly six-minute "Lost Along the Way," sounding similar to a youthful Stone Temple Pilots. Unfortunately, the track is followed by a sullen and lackadaisical rock ballad, "Smile," which breaks the pattern of power pop at a significant cost. "The Hey Song" pushes all the right buttons as it slowly builds to a lovable chorus. Another generally feel-good song is the rollicking rocker "Naked." When lead singer Micki Shivers plays the snarling victim in songs such as "Charmed Life," the songs seem to resonate better. An amusing finale is the cover of an Elvis Presley staple called "Burning Love." The band seems perfect in a hard rock stomp through the tune. The album is a slight improvement over the debut effort.
