Query: The Parts are Greater than the Whole

This is a 'tweener -- could have been three stars, but I opted for four. Mid-tempo alt country on almost all the cuts and therein lies the problem. Listening to the songs individually, one thinks "all-around good stuff," lyrics, music, playing, singing, but after 13 very similar cuts one is also left with the feeling that the Voles could use a bit more variety in approach and arrangements. At the end of the CD, it's very hard to go back and distinguish the parts -- but the highlights, when you do, are "I'm the One for You," the title cut (a sound that is frequently repeated in the other tunes, e.g. Back in Your Heart, Please Come See Me, and Hope You Know), and "Something Broken." There is plenty of talent here, but it is also easy to see why the Volebeats have gotten lost in the tidal wave of alt-country music -- not a whole lot sets them apart from the talented crowd.
