Sloan - Never Hear The End Of It
Reviewed by margaret
“…But they’re HUGE in Canada!” That seems to be the way I describe Sloan to everyone I know. Because honestly? Not a lot of people near me (i.e., those living in the South) have heard of them. Despite having had several pretty big songs over the years, when MuchMusic changed to their crap US version, Sloan dropped off the radar in much of the States. Which is a damn shame… With the exception of the rather dreadful “Live The Life You’re Dreaming Of” and “It’s Not the End of the World,” Never Hear The End Of It is the most consistent 30-song offering you’ll ever run across. Depending on the day, I feel some tracks more than others, but if you’re looking for good, solid power pop, you could do a hell of a lot worse. Looks like the domestically unsung veterans of the Canadian rock scene can still put out some good shit. Nice to know. [www.sloanmusic.com]
