    The quartet's cycle of jam band guitars and lamentable retrospectives os a smidge repetitious but there's comfort in the routine. [Fall 2008, p.97]

    They keep up that trend on their sophomore effort, a slightly more freewheeling affair that overcomes its lack of innovation through sheer youthful exuberance.
  3. PopMatters
    30
    Whenever the hooks dissipate, and the chops are sidelined, Sam Champion is an overindulgent snooze.
