From Iceland — Petter & The Pix - Easily Tricked

Published March 8, 2007

This album is kind of like eating roast mutton off plastic tupperware. The ingredients are all there, you know it’s good stuff and it certainly tastes expensive, but something’s just not quite right; something is flat, sterile and too watered down, too squared away and plasticky. It’s not quite reggae and not quite pop, but doesn’t really manage to be a little bit of both either. Highlights that rise above their formulas include the pacing title track and the mellow, straightforward So Easy, but the rest seems kind of half-assed. SE
