Mikal Cronin

In my review for Mikal Cronin's previous album MCII, I may have equated his music to the modern day Dad's music. It's the shit you want to listen to while white knuckling the steering wheel of your Honda Odyessy as you rush to pick up the kids from soccer practice because Dad's always be running late. Always.

This is by NO means a knock on Mikal Cronin or his music because his albums blow the baby bjorn straps off your shoulders. MCII was one of my favorite albums in 2013. I still listen to it today. And MCIII is the perfect continuation. So when I say 'Dad music' I mean that it is the perfect mid-line for the almost middle aged adult. Basically me......it's perfect for me.

It's not overly soft. It's not overly hard.....it doesn't try to over compensate.
It's not too young. It's not too old......It's mature.
it's not simplistic. It's not complex.....it's smart.

Cronin toes this line, and where he doesn't push the boundaries, he makes up for with perfectly written rock songs. The fucking hooks and chord progressions on every song are fucking prime rib, yo. And because of the above mentioned, the album is good to listen to at any time and in any mood. This is why I have already worn out the grooves on my vinyl copy of MCII....Mikal Cronin is ALWAYS on. I plan on doing the same to MCIII.

I'm keeping my shit short today. The album does all the talking. It takes absolutely no effort to enjoy and anything I write won't change that. Put it on and play on repeat ALL DAY.
