ALBUM REVIEW: Doves - Some Cities

by Andrew A. Anissi

I know it's hip to like the Doves right now, but c'mon, they sound like every other generic brit pop band, as if, before being packaged and shipped to our generation, they were produced on a brit pop assembly line, creativity replaced by the type of mass production we remember from Charlie Chaplain's Modern Times.

Yes, there's a lot of feeling and soul in there, but no unique voice. You'll also find that the catchy tracks like "Black and White Town" are more monotonous than the background scenery in a Flintstones cartoon. Still...there are catchy tracks involved, and, as I said, there is some soul in there, so you might like the album.
