Nod Your Head
Nathan Proctor | Michigan | 09/21/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Edgewater is one of those bands who have extraordinary musicians who just can't seem to breakthrough and become fully mainstream. When South of Sideways came out I bought their CD based on their first single "Eyes Wired Shut" and I've absolutely loved them since. This album is a logical progression from South of Sideways touching on both the lightest and heavist spectrums that they showed us on their first album. Its my view that Matt Moseman is one of the best singers in rock and roll, and the rest of the musicians in the band are equally as talented. This album is far more emotional than the first, which is why I really fell for it. Buy it now."
Edgewater Aren't Giving Up Yet.

"Edgewater's story is not one we haven't heard before. Little known rock band gets signed by major label, gets one single with moderate radio-play and a spot on a high profile soundtrack. The album fails to live up to the successes of it's peers, and the label forgets them like yesterday's news. Edgewater's triumphant follow-up to 2004's "South Of Sideways" is a biting 10-track album focused mainly on trashing the record business and the band is all the better for it. Sounding bolder than they did before, Edgewater spew their venom with focus and treat their frustrations and anger as a blessing. Despite the corny album title and theme, "We're Not Robots," the message is heard loud and clear.



Sounds Like: A band with a little more confidence.



The Good:

- They didn't give up where most bands would have faded.

- The style on the album doesn't veer far enough from the past to alienate fans.



The Bad:

- The production is a bit muddy.

- There are only 10 songs, adding up to just over a half-hour (what's with bands skimping on material these days?)

- The whole band vs. music industry cliche gets old midway through the album



Hits: "Get It Right" and "S.O.S." would be radio-hits given the chance.



Future: Edgewater seem bound and determined to stay in this business, despite low record sales. I don't see "We're Not Robots" being a massive hit, but it sure is a solid album that will win over anyone willing to listen.



Personally: I find this album to be more focused, even a bit more streamlined than "South Of Sideways." It's an easy listen, just a fun hard-rock album to pop in at any given moment.



Best Listened To When: Your record label drops you."
