    Discounting Losing's debt to the past, this is a high-grade garage rock record chock-full of emotionally honest, melodically engaging tunes. It may feel a little too familiar for those who experienced the '90s alt-rock boom firsthand, but those who didn't will no doubt be able to extract and enjoy its vibrancy.

    There’s nothing inherently bad about anything on Losing, but nothing’s going to stick around, either.

The instrumentation and playing is great (although the guitars on Seeing It is trash) and the lead singer, while way too raspy, is energetic. And even some of the lyrics can be fun in that teen angst sense (no that's not a backhanded compliment). But what kills this for me, like their debut, is the production. It is too polished! Clearly there needs to be grit and bite here but unfortunately the producer thought the mixing should have Alicia Bognanno's vocals be as clean as possible and push the instrumentation to the back and mixed to be softer and quieter than it should! Seriously when the songs clearly need some head banging rock swagger it's mixed where there is no bite whatsoever. I remember hearing the band once at a music festival and they sounded great when they are live. Why don't the producers they hire know this?!… Full Review »
