    Royal City don't have the arresting lyrics or delivery of the best Palace songs, nor is Little Heart's Ease the equal of genre-champ Magnolia Electric Company, but, as Riches might put it, there's some sparkles in the rough.

    Little Heart's Ease is a respectable effort - just not by Royal City standards.

    For the first time it sounds like Royal City is stuck.

    It's probably their most immediate and consistent record to date, tossing in a few decent melodies along the way in an attempt -- a failed one, I might add -- to enter the slightly less crowded lot of mediocre country-rock outfits.

    Too often, the new record substitutes weighty, Biblical language for true heft.

    The first three tracks are great, as are some of the other songs... but something's not quite right.
