My review:

I enjoy the overall grungy sound (lots of great guitar parts) and different musical elements. I like how each song is unique like the months in a year..it's an interesting concept and the lyrics really add to it.
It's weird, kinda like how the months of the year each have its own attitude, and on how seasons go, the music has that feel--like how December has a spacey cool feeling or how June and July are warmed with a more aggressive tone...it kinda displays the extremes in the music..

I don't really hear the alt. rock, but I can easily see how this could easily get lumped into the grunge category--and it doesn't help when the singer sounds Nirvana-esque (at least to me) It's that overall 90s sound that underlines all those bands at that time..But anyway, I feel that these guys can still stand on their own and be great...an enjoyable listen for sure.
