Who liked the 90's. I liked the 90's. I think a lot of the best pop rock that has ever hit my ears was made in the 90's. One of those bands that still make think of better days is Gin Blossom. While, Gin Blossom hasn't played on my iTunes in awhile, I still miss the great guitar playing and harmonic filled songs that make you smile.
Recently, I came across the fact that Gin Bolossom is releasing a new album called No Chocolate Cake. Seeing their name, I had to review it. Now, first off, No Chocolate has the same great guitar riffs and lyrics that you remember from classics like Hey Jealousy and Follow You Down. It will bring you back in time to a happier and less stressful world.
Second, their new songs like Wave Bye Bye and Don't Change for Me are classics of Gin Blossoms and I wouldn't be surprised if they are on a Greatest Hits album some day. These songs with their upbeat pop sound and nice vibes has to cheer anyone up. With this choice of style, it also has become the down fall of this album. All the songs sound the same. Almost every Gin Blossom song sounds the same. The best way to describe their sound is that they are the 90's version of Nickleback. All the songs sound the same and do not push the edges of music.
To sum this album up, I can't not give this album more than a C+, if you love Gin Blossom or want a blast from the past, got out and buy this album. If you were expecting anything new or different from Gin Blossom like I was, you'll be disappointed.
