Just alright, fairly unremarkable. That is how I would describe this CD. White Light Riot is a local Minneapolis band that somehow got onto Ross's radar. I'm not quite sure why. Their music is ok but nothing spectacular. They are an alternative band with a similar sound to the Alarmists, another local band, but I like the Alarmists better, don't ask me why. I just felt like this was nothing I hadn't heard before. I didn't hate the music but it wasn't very memorable either. My favorite song was the first song called "Charlatan." It's a pretty catchy tune as you can hear below.
I am not sure why Ross bought this CD. I know he bought it at the same time that he bought the Alarmists CD. They both had pretty big buzz a couple of years ago and were playing out and about a lot. We saw the Alarmists live but I know I never saw White Light Riot. Maybe he saw them live and liked what he saw or maybe he heard something on the radio that intrigued him. This one was just a curious CD for me. I couldn't see him really liking this that much. I am not keeping this one. I know I haven't really talked it up much but I am sure there are people who would like this one. I just don't need it for my collection.
