Stand out album
It’s safe to say that Wylie really has recorded one of the stand out albums of the year. Stand out because there’s not a weak track on it. Stand out because the structures of the songs are so finely tuned and conceived that they feel like classics in the making. And stand out because the songs themselves sound easily as good as anything his previous band the Cosmic Rough Riders have ever recorded, even taking into account the giddy heights of “The Pain Inside” or “The Loser.” Love is, of course, the common theme throughout the record and in making such an optimistic but realistic collection of songs on the subject, Wylie has recorded one of the definitive pop albums of the year – absolutely riveting.
