Music Review: 'So Much for the Afterglow'

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Lead Performance: Everclear

Shirking alt-rock convention, Everclear leader Art Alexakis isn't afraid of success, and you can hear it in the anthemic power-chord blasts that dominate his band's third album. But neither the punch of the title track nor the grown-up touches (strings, surfer harmonies, roots-rock banjo, song about daddy) can disguise the fact that Alexakis has an average, logy voice and Everclear have no real distinguishing features. C+
