While SR71 doesn't exactly break new ground on NOW YOU SEE INSIDE, it does succeed in reinvigorating the rock ballad on songs such as "What a Mess" or "Fame (What She's Wanting)." If SR71 is a pretty bunch of boys very likely to become the next N'SYNC, at least they'll have some talent to back it up.
This boyish, relatively clean-cut quartet have the harmonies, slick production, and songs that smack of a manufactured "boy band," which, surprisingly, they're not. There's a slight edge to the polished songs and approach that make tracks like "Politically Correct" and "Right Now" palatable for alternative radio. As a whole, however, the album is more noteworthy for Gil Norton's (Foo Fighters) rich production and the band's strong vocal harmonies and melodic songs. Lyrically, SR-71 are trite and true, clever homilies delivered sincerely by lead vocalist/guitarist Mitch Allan and his cute compatriots.
Ditto the generally impeccable songs, which, while catchy, are not as memorable as matchbox twenty's, nor as poignant as the aforementioned Goos. For a moment, on "What a Mess," as befits the desperate romantic entreaty of the tune's title, SR-71 hints at a Nine Inch Nails-style darkness before segueing into middle-of-the-road territory.
