Posted Sunday, | Review this album | Report (Review #1177061) Head and shoulders above these two, but it's certainly a step up from the bland art pop If you want toĬheck out this band, you would be best off exploring the self-titled debut, not that I'm saying it's These two albums is mediocre to warrant even a marginal recommendation. Both records offer a handful of decent tunes but far too much of the material included on The material on each is weak, Abacus make sure to leave a handful of interesting I am noticing a pattern with Everything You Need and Midway. The two are paired up awkwardly like this. As it so happens, I'm equally as dismissive when The quality of songwriting (or frustrating lack thereof) that limits Abacus so much.Įverything You Need is surely the better of the two, but neither album sparks my interest Problem with pop music is that songwriting becomes all the more important to its success it's I certainly don't dislike Midway and "Everytning You Need"īecause they fell short of Abacus' prog potential and opted for pop. I'm not sure I understand the motivation behind compiling two incredibly mediocre albums and Two lame albums for the price of one? No thanks. 'Everything You Need & Midway' - Abacus (30/100)
