I'm listening to the track "Black Diamond Train" by Boys in a Band and I'm pretty sure I don't like it. The funny thing is, I can't decide why. They obviously have some talent. They don't sound like they are ripping any one band or genre off.
But still...
Something's lacking. The track starts out all jangly rock - think Strokes, the Departure, old R.E.M.. So far so good. The lead vocals somehow invoke 70s arena rock in some way and the writing and production are all tight. And yet, it just isn't putting me over the edge. Again, nothing bad here...just lacking some punch.
I'd call this a 10:30pm track. Squeezed between some Cheap Trick and some Darkness. Boys in a Band.
