Album Review: Torches by Foster the People

Think New Order meets Oasis and you have a good sense of this band.  This album is heavy on the pop dance aspects of both bands and it makes for a great summer album.

I've really enjoyed listening to this album, but there is something slightly off about it.  For instance I've already hit burnout on this album and so I'm left wondering where it is that the album falls a bit short.  The songs do sound a lot a like and so maybe that's the biggest problem.  But for what it is this album works very well.

It's a great summer album so it's a must for your summer vacation mix.

Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 3 out of 5 stars for Pretty Good.
