This album would work better as a parody of singer/songwriters.

At first listen, it's difficult to tell whether this album is trying to be serious or not, but it doesn't take long to realize that is what's intended. Jeremy Jay's debut album, A Place Where We Could Go, doesn't offer much to the listener except raw and low-quality songs.

The vocals are bare and out of tune, and sound like they were recorded in his basement. In many instances, the lyrics are spoken, not sung, and don't flow with any sense of rhythm.

The music varies between the sounds of various '60s rock, pop and surf music. The music, although better than the lyrics, is very generic and nothing outstanding.

This album would work better as a parody of singer/songwriters like Jay, but is still not worth your money. D | Alex Bates
