It’s been like 20 minutes of me just having a mental, one-sided conversation while staring at a blank canvas. It’s one of those days and I think it’s coming from broken weekend plans. I’m bummed, but moving on because how can one be sad with Man On Earth’s self-titled is spinning round? It’s got this pop rock attitude that’s matured like a graduate student writing their final paper; everything’s in place and they know they’ve got at least a B+.
Songs like “Bang Bang Bitch” and “There” are okay, but when you want to get to the ones that make this record something to hold onto, you have to look at a couple others. “If Not Now Then When” is a common statement uttered by the deep thinkers out there, and it’s not different here. Only Man On Earth gives it this fresh new makeover – making it lively instead of a daunting, philosophical idea. The other one to keep an ear open to is “We Are The Dreamers” solely based on the lyrics that lay within the confines of the band’s softer approach in the music that caps off the album.
I’m still talking to myself, but hopefully my mom answers her phone sometime soon to end this solo babble. While I wait for that to happen, make sure to note that if you’re into bands that sit somewhere between Goo Goo Dolls and American Authors, then you’ll likely think Man On Earth is the bees knees. So check out Man On Earth, out now.
