The Spill Canvas-No Really, I’m Fine
Nick Thomas and the rest of The Spill Canvas know how to write ridiculously catchy pop-rock songs. Just give first single “All Over You” a listen and you’ll see what I’m talking about. On No Really, I’m Fine, the band shows just how good they can be in a genre dominated by groups like Nickelback and Daughtry. Each song is methodically well-crafted. It is almost impossible to resist tapping your foot and nodding your head to the tracks. Thomas has a wonderful voice for rock. It is incredibly expressive, allowing him to belt, hit high notes (even some falsetto stuff in “Connect the Dots”) and go low when he needs to. You definitely need to like Thomas’s voice to like The Spill Canvas, since it is so prevalent. The music presented here isn’t exactly ground-breaking, but it is very solid. Sometimes they sound a bit like 90s rockers Vertical Horizon, which is a compliment. One song that is questionable is “Connect the Dots,” which is a bit of a corny love ballad that sounds like it would be better placed on a Backstreet Boys or NSYNC album. The rest of the album is gorgeous and stands strong. Check it out.
