Matt and Andrew's CD a Day project

I had actually lost this album for more than a year when I found it a few days ago in another CD case. Something Corporate had a little bit of hype when they came out as a sort of Ben Folds / Green Day hybrid. And this album starts out really well, with five strong cuts in a row. But then the second half of the album tails off in quality, and the band starts to sound like an Elton John wannabe being propped up with a bunch of distorted guitars so he sounds "cooler." My brother is a big fan of this band; he saw them live last year. I'll have to ask them how they were. As it is, they barely skate into the keep pile.
