Slothrust
\nEveryone Else
\n<\/i>(Dangerbird Records)
\n3.5\/5<\/p>\n

Jazz- and blues-influenced rock is not my usual genre of choice, but Slothrust kept me interested on their third album.<\/p>\n

The songs have very interesting titles, which always pulls the listeners in and is very fitting for this album. Personally, I would have preferred the first song, \u201cSurf Goth,\u201d to ease more into things than it does, allowing me to warm up to the album; late-album standout \u201cMud\u201d would have been a better choice to get things started.<\/p>\n

I found Slothrust\u2019s lyrics to be quite intelligent and unique, a break from the generic lyrics bombarding me from the radio. Vocalist\/guitarist Leah Wellbaum has a very melodious voice, and the album in general has quite a range to its sounds. I feel like I could be chilling out alone or getting amped up to go to a party while listening to Everyone Else<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Slothrust isn\u2019t all too bad, especially for a newbie like me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
