Stars: Sad Robots EP

Hey, here is some more BRAND spankin new shit. Well... almost. I've listen to it a few times through, and let me just say that I only hope their next album is as good as this EP. Stars have a problem, like a lot of indie bands nowadays, of making albums of half really great material mixed in with half mediocre/bad material. Stars, if they trimmed the fat a bit, could make one of the best albums in recent years. Torquil Campbell (the male vocalist who shares the spotlight with the more talented Amy Milan) has a propensity for cheesy vocals/lyrics. It's pretty much a guarantee that there will be a few songs on every Stars release that aren't really that good, and even though this is no exception, the majority of the songs are great and they seem to be headed in a good direction for their next LP. And on the plus side, IT IS NEW, which is apparently all people care about nowadays. *sigh*
