Ours
Precious (Dreamworks)
by Tim Den
I hate to use the word “disappointed,” but nothing better sums up my feelings about Precious. Ours‘ debut, Distorted Lullabies, pretty much had the collective Lollipop office’s balls in its hands. This new album, however, only tickles ’em. I know, I know: The band backed away from its high drama vocals and Shakespearian tunefulness in order to get away from that dreaded “clone of Jeff Buckley” tag… but those traits were exactly what we loved most!
