Cocoon Crash

by K's Choice

Overview

On Cocoon Crash, the band's follow-up to their breakthrough second album, Paradise in Me, K's Choice are determined to showcase their musical diversity. As a result, the album is a bit scattershot, since it runs the gamut from jangling folk-rock to roaring post-grunge. It's all tied together by Sam Bettens' vocals, but he's more of a chameleon than a strong identity, fitting his talents to the song instead of bending them toward his demands. Consequently, the album can sound like a post-Lilith Fair alt-rock sampler, but it's enjoyable simply because the band's melodic skills have improved and they're capable of delivering good alt-rock songs, even if they are a little faceless. Even if K's Choice fail to create a distinctive identity for themselves on Cocoon Crash, its craft signals enough of a leap forward to make it a successful third album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
