Spitalfield - Remember Right Now

Reviewed by pike

An average punk/emo/pop album. That really could be my whole review right there. I won’t try to be clever and throw band comparisons out there (Jimmy Eat World... cough... cough) and I won’t try to use a lot of big words or throw metaphors around. To put it simply, Remember Right Now is a decent and sometimes downright catchy album of rock music. It is an admirable effort and worth a listen or two. But after those few listens you come to realize that there is nothing there that you haven’t heard before. Had this been released ten years ago maybe it would be fresh, but it is not 1993 and the produce has seen better days. If you like Jimmy Eat World and the realm of music they occupy, then you will surely and thoroughly enjoy this album. I have to admit myself that tracks like “In The Same Lifetime”, “Five Days And Counting” and “Make My Heart Attack” caught my ear and made the album a good listen. But when it comes down to it this album is the equivalent of a summer blockbuster movie; you aren’t going to see or hear much original, but you might just be entertained enough to come back for more.
