Instead, the band seems content to follow trails blazed by others. The spiritualized, bass-heavy Who You Are is a solid number, but it clearly owes a lot to Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, with whom Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder worked on the sound track to the film Dead Man Walking. Other songs are even more derivative. The countrified garage rocker Smile sounds like a Neil Young tune, right down to the harmonica solo (Pearl Jam worked with Young on his 1995 album, Mirror Ball); it's pleasant enough, but it lacks the ornery soul of the genuine...

What he does see himself as is Eddie Vedder. Reeves will spend the summer touring with his grunge band, Dogstar. (One critic described its music as "Flipper meets an industrial accident.")
