Album Review by guest writer Dave Ullrich 

Artist: Andrew Vincent
Album: Rotten Pear
Andrew Vincent - Rotten Pear
My high school experience was probably pretty normal. 
I wasn't the nerdiest kid in the whole school, but I was also 
definitely not the coolest. I ran with a quiet, law-abiding 
group of friends with a slightly intellectual outsider view 
of the world. Andrew Vincent seems like he could have 
been part of my crew.

Rotten Pear has plenty of quiet electric guitar numbers, 
Genesis-era keyboards and slightly intellectual outsider 
lyrics. I get the feeling that Andrew Vincent is a thoughtful 
guy that doesn't always get the good breaks. However, the 
quality of this album shows he really should get some this 
time around. This is my favourite new album of the year. 

My basic recommendation is that you first buy this album 
on Zunior, call up a few of your outsider friends, get 
pizza/beer and then give it a play. It goes well on 
rainy/snowy nights with people you really like. Listen to 
the lyrics and roll with the mood.
