David Liberty
"Labyrinth of Leers" CD
Self-released
Genre: soft rock
June 2006 |
Israeli born Canadian David Liberty
constructs inoffensive soft rock songs with sub-par melodies, often
comically annoying vocals, and those lame horns that always seem to
show up in the genre. Labyrinth Of Leers is his latest effort,
and I really can't imagine many people wanting to hear it. The music
rarely transcends the mediocre, and if it weren't for the odd bit of
interesting storytelling (depressing domestic tale "Stainless Steel
Champagne Saucer" comes to mind) amidst the terribly derivative love
songs, there'd be nothing here worth writing about. Perhaps this stuff
sits well with the soft rock folks, but after enduring a warbly mess
like "You And Me" I never want to hear Liberty's voice again.

Fun Fact:
From the press sheet: "The
answers may not be pretty in David's songs and that is because the
questions, the journeys and the final destinations are the true
rewards."
