Energetic but ultimately pedestrian MOR from this New York quartet is fine if you're getting fed up waiting for another Best of Guns'n'Roses compilation, but not much use for anything else.
There are four tracks to this album-preceding EP, featuring Dark, which is technically the first single from A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun, plus three non-album tracks.
All of them are much of a muchness, recalling the rather dreary sound of the mid-to-late-'80s, when the New Romantics had washed off their eyeliner and put their synthesisers away but Nirvana and Britpop were still too many years away.
We lived though it once. It was painful enough then and there's no need to re-live it now. Unless you like the idea of a slightly more Emo Guns'n'Roses of course, in which case you'll probably love it.
