Our Take

Ah, here we have Will Sheff, lead singer of Okkervil River, with his latest solo venture "Nothing Special." And let me tell you, folks, this album is about as exciting as watching paint dry on a rainy day.

Sheff's attempt at a stripped-back, intimate sound falls flat, with songs that meander aimlessly like a lost sheep in the wilderness. The lacklustre instrumentals do little to add any depth or interest, leaving the listener feeling like they've been duped into listening to elevator music.

The lyrics, too, are a mixed bag, ranging from trite cliches to cringe-worthy attempts at profundity. Sheff's vocals, while technically proficient, lack any real emotion or connection, making it hard to care about what he's singing about.

Overall, "Nothing Special" lives up to its name, offering listeners a forgettable experience that is about as exciting as watching grass grow. Save yourself the headache and give this one a miss.
