The songs, engaging as they are, sound cursory, as though Lee wrote them while riding the bus on his way to the studio, staring at his watch and an empty notebook.
-
Under The RadarNothing here approaches innovation, and while the music isn't offensive to the ears, it provides little to get excited about. [#9]
-
Much of Awake Is the New Sleep feels labored, lyrically and musically.
-
Awake has the occasional spiffy tune... but it's padded with pop-rock toss-offs and an unlistenable, ten-minute instrumental noise jam.
-
UncutDoesn't pack enough hooks to make it memorable. [Apr 2005, p.105]
-
It's all perfectly serviceable pop, if a little dull.
-
MojoIt intrigues more than satisfies. [Apr 2005, p.100]
