Scott Garred, frontman for Silver Scooter, is a geek in the best possible way. He's a four-eyed indie kid who quietly courts the spotlight because without it, clubs and bars would be too dark to read in. He's a songwriter who piles meaning upon meaning in lines like "I know you didn't mean nothing / And I know I didn't mean nothing, too," and a singer who challenges listeners to decipher the intentions behind his few vocal changes. On Silver Scooter's third full-length album, <I>The Blue Law</I>, slick, skilled production seamlessly blends his restrained vocals with emphatic rhythms, suggesting that New Order and Paul Simon can safely be numbered among the band's diverse influences. While Garred may be speaking for the foursome's conservative sound when he earnestly sings in the album's opening song, "I know I'm not original," he's also correct when he continues, "or even typical." Silver Scooter plays an almost purist brand of alternative rock, the kind that all but disappeared as whole networks of "alternarock" radio stations were built on the landscape flattened by Nirvana's <I>Nevermind</I>. Rather than redefining the musical terrain, <I>The Blue Law</I> floats above it, asserting that what's good matters, no matter how far it is from what's "in." <I>--Sarah Sternau</I>

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars not the best, but not bad.......2002-07-26

this band is great. and simple, and pleasant, and easy, and smooth, and engaging, and sometimes exciting. by the time this record rolled around, they had already dropped their masterpiece, ORLEANS PARISH. this one had no hope of topping it, but it's good in and of itself. and we have to love it, because from what i've heard, they've called it quits and this will be the last we hear of them. reason to mourn, reason to buy.
