SOUND Team

SOUND team are great for the exact reason they are often criticised - they don't have a definitive sound. While some may slate their new album, Movie Monster, for this reason, a la this Pitchfork review, I find it appealing as each track requires you to listen to it and doesn't just blend into sound of the album. After all, some bands tend to release albums that sound too alike after a while, not to mention any names like Cold Play.

As stated on Popmatters.com:

Ultimately, 'Movie Monster' has the effect of convincing you that you just listened to 45 minutes of alternative rock radio with an ‘80s and ‘90s bent on a station where variety and eclectic playlists rule the day, and pop means as much as rock.

Sounds great.
