June 24: Treble Charger - Wide Awake Bored
Why do I own this? As hardcore readers of this site might remember, I really enjoyed Treble Charger's first album, Maybe It's Me.
Unfortunately, in between Maybe It's Me and this 2001 release, TC lead singer Greig Nori discovered Sum 41 (he manages and produces them now). And way too much punk brattiness wore off on this band. How embarrassing does it have to be to be nearly 30 years old and pose for the picture for your album sleeve looking like you pissed your pants? (Yes, that's exactly what Treble Charger did here.) And honestly, I wouldn't have minded that much if the songs on this album had been any good. They're not. Wide Awake Bored is just... boring.
Keep or Sell? Sell. And try to learn some life lessons in case I ever get really desperate to stay famous.
