ARCHITECTS – Keys to the Building
reviewed by Ryan Brosmer
Keys to the Building is about as annoying as a CD could be. Now this album came out back in 2004, so this couldn’t be the case, but it sounds like they took that Taylor guy from “American Idol,” told him to sing different songs over the same backing musical track 10 times and called it a wrap. Their style is just an over the top mix of rock and white-boy soul that falls flat right out of the door. They come off sounding like a bunch of brats attempting to recreate their parents’ record collection. All that can really be said is if somebody is searching for this style of music, there are so many better, more genuine forms of it available far away from the Architects.
