AARON ROSE - "Wildflowers"

Seemingly chained to drum machine and click-track rhythms, without any apparent spontaneity, Aaron Rose plays every song on his favorite amp settings. Rather than let the melody dictate the pace and feel of a song, he labors under some confined notion of tempo. The title track affords a glimpse of a solo... sort of. All of the songs started to sound really monotonous after about halfway through. I'm not saying he should give up, but maybe he should just find a band he likes and mimic them really, really well for a while until something of himself begins to impose itself upon the sound. It just seems a bit safe and sterile, not loose enough to be lo-fi or anything else.
