A very nice review of 'Reflected'!
Rainy Day Saints - Reflected (CD, Get Hip, Pop)
The third full-length release from Cleveland, Ohio's Rainy Day Saints. Reflected is a mighty big mixed bag of treats. On this album, these guys present eighteen songs that range from straightforward pop to semi-psychedelia to progressive and even folky pop. The band is somewhat chameleon-like. At times they sound like Squeeze...at other times they sound like The Move or even The Beatles...while at other times the music reminds us of pure popsters like The Shoes. So many pop bands have one style or sound and drive it into the ground over the course of an album. This is definitely not the case here. There's a lot to take in...even an interesting cover of Kraftwerk's "The Hall of Mirrors" (?!). It is surprising--given the varied sounds here--that this album comes across sounding so cohesive. Plenty of cool guitars and nifty vocals. Our favorite cuts include "This Isn't Real," "Sally Go Round," "Underwater Again," "Holding On," and "Between Tomorrow and Time." Fun stuff. (Rating: 5)
