No, they're not going to change the world of pop music anytime
soon. But when a band opens its album with a whirlwind of drum
loops and crunchy, rhythmically ambiguous guitar, and then skids
immediately into a blast of gritty pop-punk riffage and soaring
harmonies, you can't help but like them. Anyone who really loves
pop music knows that originality is overrated -- what matters is
hooks, and Bottom Line has those in spades. In multiples of
spades, really. Some people say that these guys push the
boundaries of pop-punk, but to all but the most discerning ears
they're going to sound pretty much like pretty much all of the
top-tier melodic punks out there. After "Nothing Is Real (As If
It Ever Was)," the hooks just keep getting sharper, through "She
Left Off" and "Follow Me," before dropping a bit in quality on
the so-so "Blind." But then comes a curiosity, a weird little
retro instrumental titled "Saddle Oxford"; horns make an
appearance on the very nice "False Alarm," and another weird
instrumental pops up again several tracks later. The album hits
its zenith on the spectacular "This Far from a Fire." Dense and
spiky guitars and tight, smooth harmonies keep everything sweet
and crunchy throughout the album; it's a confection, yes, but a
highly satisfying one. Recommended.
