The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America: C

Music: 7/10 Vocals: 3/5 Lyrics: 2/5 Production: 4/5
Total: 16/25 = C

The Hold Steady is a mix of Southern pop and Bruce Hornsby. The singer is a blend of Bruce Springsteen and Michael Stipe. It all kind of works well except for the lyrics. The singer is too busy talking about partying and getting high that it taints the other good songs on the album. Hopefully this band will mature since a lot of it is actually pretty catchy.
