About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The Alternate Routes' debut release is uplifting but rather nondescript guitar-oriented rock, with plenty of soaring guitars and anthemic vocals in the hard-charging tunes that dominate the disc. In the occasional quieter tracks, singer Tim Warren has a light timbre reminiscent (yet not explicitly imitative) of singer/songwriters like Paul Simon or James Taylor; the piano-acoustic guitar-dominated "The Black and the White" is the strongest effort in that regard, though it's not too typical of the album. A bit of hard rock guitar cockiness rears its head once in a while (as in the closing "Please Don't Let It Be"), but that influence isn't too overwhelming either. A group that hews so close to mainstream forms has to have really strong songs, or at least melodic hooks, to make an impact, and they're not in evidence here. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

It's better than AMG would have you believe.by RobertF

February 06, 2009: I think these songs are much stronger than the reviewer would indicate. There's a nice blend of electric and acoustic sounds here, good melodies, tight harmonies, and the lyrics got me thinking and feeling. What's not to like?

I Also Recommend: Carencro, Under Summer Sun, Blame It on Gravity [Deluxe], Me and You and the World, The Gabe Dixon Band.

July 07, 2008: this band is very original, though they may sound slightly similar to more popular bands. They have good vocals and amazing lyrics. i would suggest this album if you like music with meaning or just want something new and original to listen to.
