While Kevin Devine's thin and shaky voice sounded somewhat cute on 'circle gets the square' where all songs are very whiny and whimpy, the same voice is totally out of place on 'make the clocks move', an more adult album without any charme.The lyrics are a lot too everyday speech and lack any poetic elements. While his early song 'fingerprints and photographs' contains perfect moments like "i'm looking at you through a wineglass" in his new song 'marie' he suggests "we can rent a movie or something". It turns out to be a most boring description of a most boring relationship. boring is a good term to describe the whole record.People who liked 'circle gets the square' would be better off buying some Onlinedrawing or Bright Eyes instead. These guys have more to say and they can sing.
