Upbeat is something The Generationals seem to really do well, even if the lyrics are not always the happiest. Actor-Caster’s songs are all varied, ranging from a doo-wop group to jangy guitars and an almost protopunk sound sprinkled with indie rock. The Generationals are a duo that sounds like a whole band and really stand out in the indie rock scene. Actor-Caster is overall a pretty great album. The one weak part of Actor-Caster is that it loses a little steam around halfway through. It’s not that all of a sudden the songs are bad, it just feels like the spark that’s there in the first half is duller in the second. It certainly doesn’t stop me from pushing repeat on my ipod but I feel like The Generationals can do better. Actor-Caster would have gotten a 100 if it hadn’t been for the loss of a spark, so of course I am going to tell you that you have to give this album a chance. You will not be sorry.
Final Review- 95
