Broke Royals
The Broke Royals
Review by Gary Hill
Those who like the modern type of pop rock will find plenty to enjoy here. These guys have crafted some catchy and energetic pop songs here. I have to say that this probably works better taken one song at a time than as a whole, though. There just isn't enough variety in terms of tempo or intensity (let alone sound) to really allow this music to breathe properly on the album. There is also the issue that the sound of the act is not really unique at all. My other issue is that it definitely suffers from the over-production of much of modern pop music. All that said, you just can't argue with the songwriting here. Every song on this set is catchy. I'm probably not the target audience for this as I am not a big fan of a lot of pop music. Those who are will probably get even more out of this than I did.
