Pro Reviews: Living in Blue

EXPERT RATING:

From AMG Reviews

Yet more retroboogie rock and roll, triangulated approximately between Jet, the Datsuns and My Morning Jacket (in other words, copping licks about equally from vintage Rolling Stones, garage rock and Neil Young and Crazy Horse), the Blackouts' second album is amiable, fitfully entertaining but fundamentally uninspiring. The songs are entirely competent barband rock, but there's a curious lack of immediacy to the proceedings; songs like the Dream Syndicatelike twangy choogle "Open Casket Access" clearly want to kick out the jams, but Steve Ucherek's lightweight mumble of a voice sounds permanently stuck in Julian Casablancasstyle boredom, and he drags the rest of the band down to the same notquitethere level. One hopes they're better live. (In late 2004, the Illinoisbased Blackouts signed to Chicago indie Minty Fresh and changed their name to the Living Blue to avoid confusion with a similarlynamed band.)
