Hey Rick,
It's so interesting to me that you say this about Adam Schmitt, because I
can remember my first thought when I got his second album, Illiterature,
which was "wow, I can't believe how much different this sounds from his
first one!" To my ears, World So Bright had a very slick, corporate sound,
which was overcome by his awesome voice and excellent songwriting.
Illiterature was awash in distorted, grungy sounds...well, as distorted and
grungy as a pop guy would get, but nevertheless far different from its
predecessor. He even seemed to purposefully employ a grittier vocal on
Illiterature. I also see Demolition as being different from the other two;
earthier, with Schmitt occasionally sounding like Tom Petty.
I'm really curious to find out where you hear saminess in Schmitt's work.
