Dorks And Losers

Chris Glover aims to make music that is good, but what he ends up doing is rein­vig­o­rat­ing music. Hell Isn’t That Funny is one of the most orig­i­nal blends of rock, pop, rap, hip-hop and R&B makes for easy lis­ten­ing and down­right sat­is­fac­tion to the ears and mind.

The tracks flow as if Chris Glover is singing/rapping about the scenery while walk­ing through dif­fer­ent sec­tions of a city. It’s weird, but one seems to be com­fort­able in each sec­tion and call it home. The open­ing track “Stand On Your Seat” is the most radio-friendly tune, and one won­ders why it isn’t. All it takes is one song to moti­vate and inspire more vari­ety on the air­waves. Maybe every­one is just wait­ing until “Some­thing You Already Knew” to hit radio to act. It seems like the per­fect anthem for today’s youth.

“Gopola Govinda Rama” would be the clos­est to being down­hearted, but some­how Glover is able to main­tain an upbeat atmos­phere despite the low-tone beats. Upbeat doesn’t just describe the song, but the entire album as well. Some­how, the album feels both uni­form and jum­bled at the same time. From the flashy zoom of “Never So Far Away” to the Jesus-folksy “Holy Moses”, the album coa­lesces the many moods of liv­ing down to a 44-minute album. I don’t think many city-long walks go that fast, so maybe Glover fre­quently traf­fics the bus to his des­ti­na­tions. Either way, there doesn’t seem like there will be a cloud in the sky for about the next 48 hours, and easy roads ahead.
