You never know what the result is going to be when a drummer takes command of doing a project himself but Keith McAdams is more than up the task and Not Lamers can rejoice that he`s a man concerned with pulling out strong , steady melodies and hooks. In fact, some of these songs bring out influences that prop up the eyes of many of us here, in particular Jason Falknerand "Redhead"-era Bleu. Listen to tracks 1, 2 and 3 below for good examples of these artists. There is plenty to fall for here for the everyday pop fan but for those looking something to hang their hat on but "It`s My Time To Lose My Mind" is up the task of being just another good pop album. "NYC`s Kevin McAdams, if nothing else, is going to have one of the top tracks of 2009 when I compile that particular year-end list. "Start Over Again", which opens the disc, is a joyous ELO-styled number that`s catchy as hell and which would probably make Bleu jealous. The rest of the album ain`t bad either, as McAdams manages to stay on the baroque side of indie pop. The pensive "Us vs World" and "A Different Love Song" find their way into Beck/Grandaddy territory, while the manic "The Bannerman Nightmare" and "Leave Us Alone" will delight Bryan Scary fans. A promising debut." - Absolute Power Pop blog. "The album kicks off with the kind of beat that challenges your hands to keep from fingerdrumming-and the feeling sticks around for 11 kickass pop songs. And when I say `pop,`` I don`t mean it in the way that might make me cringe--no, in this case I mean it in the catchy, need-to-play-it-again way. After a few listens, it feels like you could have known these songs since high school. The lyrics are clever and really resonate---I listened to "Leave Us Alone" on repeat the first time I heard it just to catch what he was saying, and nod my head in agreement. Overall, it`s the combination of bright pop beats and multi-layered instrumentation backing that cool voice - he`s not desperate to make you hear him, he`s just letting you know what`s up - that really keep you coming back for another listen.
