Dr. Dog - Fate


It's a beautiful thing when Dr. Dog releases an album. They have quietly recorded 3 great albums and their back again. Their newest release Fate. For me Dr. Dog is a little too pretty at times. But they are at their best when it borders the line of being pretty and sappy. An example of that sort of magic is the track 'The Breeze'. The harmony and everything about the track is beautiful. Yet they do not go over that line of being sappy. Some call this album a throwback to the good days. In a way you could say that is true. But it never feels out of date. It always sounds like the present. The only flaw I could think of about the album is it has no flaws. It sounds weird right. But it's all a little but too much of perfection for my liking. But for what it's worth this is the album of the week.



Rating: 79/100 (It's a good release. It may not be their best but you can't say it's not good.)
