Pro General Comments: Solid overall arrangement and authentic sounding retro styled instrumentation and chord sequence. The initial guitar riff is quite familiar sounding, coming close to the traditional sounding II-V-I (2-5-1) chord sequence that was quite familiar in the 50's and into the early 60's. I even heard some doo wop type background vocals that are indicative of this era and done quite well I might add. Lyrically, the listener can definitely can get an idea quickly of the theme and message of the track, however, some of the chorus lyrics are stretching credibility a bit "love triangles are all the rage." Didn't know that was the case, but maybe I'm living a sheltered life! I do like however the consistency and storytelling ability that comes through from the lyrics, "make a choice, more hearts will break, no one can win, they don't end well, don't get caught," etc., all of which are true. Maybe it's more of a comment on some of the polygamist stories that come out occasionally in the news!The lead vocals are strong and passionate sounding, I liked the harmonica licks, live drums and authentic sounding instrumentation that sounded like a live band was all playing together in the studio.
Quote From Pro: Solid arrangement and retro styled pop rock track with energetic female lead vocals that hits on a somewhat taboo subject of being in a troubled "love triangle."
