Standing On Very Thin Wire

"When I first heard Rory on the Spill Canvas extra cd,I though "Alright. A decent band picking up on Matchbook Romance and Brand New's first ablums". But after listening to the cd,I got a slightly immature vibe Brand New and Matchbook Romance never played off of. The majority of Rory's songs a very good, but certain harmonies echo Matchbook Roimance more than I'd like. And the center tracks of the album (being Doing the Lines of Conga, Tonight I just Don't Care, I'm Having a Candy Dinner, The Adventures of Me and Me) remind me more of the manufactured Simple Plan than the old Brand New. the song 'it's on senor...go!' has a lyrical essence of The Starting Line. I wish that they would've don't a bit more lead guitar, but other than that, Rory is quite talented, and sweet to the ears.
It is definately worth the purchase, having 7 out of 12 decent tracks in all."
