Field Music: Tones of the Town (2007)
I got my hands on an advance copy of Tones of the Town. This is where I get a little complicated. After being in love with their last album, I guess I went into this album expecting a little too much. This band has been compared to The Beatles in some ways. Now, when I think of The Beatles, I think:
A band that Evolved.
Field Music's previous album was brilliant. 5 Stars for sure. It was like, that guitar tone I was searching for, and finally found it. Now with this album, all I hear is the same guitar tone. Nothing that reinvents itself. If I had never heard Field Music in the first place, this would be the 5 Star album. That of course is if the previous album never existed. Unfair, I know. Still, this album has some amazing songs.
If I just tell myself, that this is an extension of their last album, everything makes more sense.
