The Ataris
Live in Chicago 2019
Review by Gary Hill
This live album captures the Ataris delivering a sound that is part alternative rock, part punk, part emo and more. It's largely effective, but not all that unique. It should be noted (and I addressed this directly in one song) that the performance draws on audience participation at times. That's a pretty standard thing in live sets, and generally works pretty well. The trouble here is that the audience was not captured on the recordings, so it leaves some gaps. All in all, though, this is energetic and effective performance captured well.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2022 Volume 2. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2022.
