You know that dedication that was required of you by Hey Rosetta! in 2008 and the expanse
and beauty that filled much of previous effort Into Your Lungs? Err - okay, you
probably don't because sputnikmusic has, as Knott stated, criminally ignored this band. But
regardless it was there in that album, I promise, and if you had, hypothetically, given
Into Your Lungs your time, it would have given you its time and more as fair
and just payment. Well on follow-up Seeds, the band condenses all that promise and
hidden chest-of-goodies-ness into a more immediate effort, which is good for those of us
with A.D.D.
This works incredibly well up until "Welcome" on the album's second half; Hey
Rosetta! show a commercial appeal in their music before this point that could very well be
marketable if their dumbass label wasn't busy not wanting to make money - seriously, what
the fuck? But anyway, this strength does taper off near Seeds' end, as stated, and
leaves you wondering where the band went off to and why the hell tracks 8 through 11 aren't
catchy as hell - like those that came before them. Still, that leaves eight awesome tracks
from these underrated Canadians for you to listen to, and personally, I'd much rather listen
to these guys on the radio than their country-brother, non-related kin Nickelback and Three
Days Grace any day. I'm pretty sure you would too. Do Knott a favor, please, and give
Seeds, and Into Your Lungs too, a chance. I guarantee the title-track of the
former will at least surprise you if you do.
