Is it derivative? Hell, yes. It's an album that's going to remind you of every little rock and roll bar you ever hung out in, tipping those waitresses and bartenders, "because they're workin' real hard just for you." Does it really showcase the bandmembers' individual strengths? Of course not. As I said from the beginning, "supergroups" never do that, but Army of Anyone unabashedly lays down eleven tunes that evoke the spirit of arena rock - loud, pseudo-sensitive, pseudo-meaningful, punctuated with power chords and pounding drum runs.
When you put it in those terms, Army of Anyone is, for want of a better term, one kick-ass band.
