An alternative music tinged with intelligent humor and melancholy
This is an impressive album by Crash Test Dummies, featuring their unique low vocals and allegorical lyrics.
Brad Roberts' unique vocal quality stands out among a sound that incorporates elements of folk and rock. His worldview, which depicts the smallest of everyday events as if they were grand stories, leaves listeners deeply moved and with a wry smile.
