[b][size=12px]The title of Single File's debut album Common Struggles tells
you a lot about what you are going to find when you give it a
spin. The emo-pop trio focuses on everyday issues like
girlfriend trouble, long-distance relationships, love
troubles, lying girlfriends, and zombies. Well, maybe that
last one isn't so common, but you get the picture. Single File
isn't dealing with earth-shaking issues, and despite the
tremulously passionate, angst-ridden vocals Sloan Anderson
sometimes lapses into, this is a pop record more than an emo
record. The slickness of the sound and the underlying
sweetness of the melodies, matched with the lyrical innocence
and singalong choruses, are pure pop, the angst seems more
like a handy pose than anything else. This pop-leaning
approach is only a problem if you came to the record seeking a
deep and meaningful experience. Otherwise you can just bop
along painlessly and sing along with silly lyrics like
"Pizzagirl's lovin' me to pieces" or "Meghan is a vegetarian
and so are all her peepz." Or you can be glad that the band
manages to escape being a cookie-cutter emo-pop band by adding
smart little tricks to the arrangements to keep things
interesting. Whether it's the acoustic bass and sunshine pop
vocal harmonies on "Melody," the whistling on "Girlfriends,"
or the bongos, organ, and handclaps on "Don't Hate," the band
and producer Howard Benson take care to try and make Common
Struggles more than a run-of-the-mill album. That they succeed
as often as they do is quite impressive. It won't redefine
emo-pop or change anyone's life, but it is a breezily pleasant
way to pass a half-hour musically.[/size][/b]
