Record Review: The Trews - No Time For Later (A)


No Time For Later

Bumstead Productions Ltd.
02/19/2008

The Trews first album since 2005, No Time For Later is good ol' fashioned rock at its best. The Trews have used the interim well, delivering thirteen excellent songs, with no filler whatsoever. The clean production qualities allow each musician to shine, while at the same time every lyric is clear. Colin MacDonald's voice delivers crisp, pleasant vocals with intelligent meaningful lyrics. The Trews excel at the ability to create interesting lyrical hooks, i.e. the chorus of "Can't Stop Laughing." Every song is catchy and memorable and fun to listen to. That's probably the reason why The Trews have gained a reputation as being one of the best live acts in Canada. Only the lack of a great deal of variety in style and tempo keep this album from getting an A+.
