Blane’s voice might not stand out in a crowd of aspiring rock bands, but he makes effective and powerful use of it, including a delicate, whispery falsetto on “Shadow of a Doubt.” On “The World I See,” possibly the best track on the album, his rich voice is complemented by Johanna N. Paretzky ’03 as the song builds into a raging excoriation: “A perverion, a perversion, a mirror version of yourself / You hate me, but you know...
...parents but loves his daughter. About his dad, who left him when he was a baby, Marshall says, "I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye/ No I don't; on second thought, I just f_____ wish he would die."

Certainly there will be more lunacy...
...bands, and pop sensibilities that seem stuck in adult contemporary. Sadly, what results from this recipe is Dakota Moon, whose second album A Place to Land combines everything but does nothing well. Vocals that could reach heights in “So Good for You” become a falsetto mess. “Looking for a Place to Land” contains a catchy hook, but the rest of the album has nothing particularly redeeming to recommend even a second listen...
