Matt and Andrew's CD a Day project

Remy Zero were one of several bands in the late '90s pegged as "The American Radiohead." Alas, none of them came close to matching Radiohead's talent, prestige or sales. This is another album that was hurt by 9/11; if I remember right, "Save Me" was one of those songs that Clear Channel quit playing (along with "Fly," "Leaving on a Jet Plane," etc. etc.) right afterwards. But then it got picked up as the theme song for Smallville, so that's probably a wash.
The real problem with this album is that it's got one good song, "Save Me," two halfway decent ones, "Perfect Memory" and "Hollywood High," and eight tracks that are unfocused, boring non-starters.
Plus, the lead singer used to be married to Alyssa Milano, which makes me just jealous enough to sell this one.
It puzzles me no end that some great bands (Jimmy Eat World back when they were on Capitol, Lucky Boys Confusion, etc.) get absolutely no help from their labels, and other bands, like Remy Zero and Cold (god, I hate that band) seem to get pushed over and over again for three or four albums. Did you know this was Remy Zero's third album? I briefly had a copy of their second, and it sucked worse than this one.
Alas, Remy Zero have broken up, according to their website, so I won't have them to kick around anymore.
