I mean, it's OK. Nothing special, but nothing bad either.

Telekinesis turns to early 90s alt-pop to inform their 2nd album, straddling between the gin blossoms, stone temple pilots, james and nada surf at times with positive results, always propelling forward, with some additional flavor a la the cure as well.
