Grade: C
Recent releases of long-awaited albums haven’t lived up to their anticipated hype. White Rabbits’s newest album, “Milk Famous,” continues this trend. The group’s third album isn’t bad; the sound is consistent throughout the album, but there isn’t any one song that begs to be played on repeat. This album is watered-down from the aggressive drum beats and intense vocals that characterize the band’s previous work. While this album may make the band more accessible to a wider audience of listeners, they seem to have lost part of their personal flair. Many of the songs on the album have overly simplistic basslines that neither the lyrics nor the vocals are strong enough to carry. The songs are easily forgettable, but the interesting juxtaposition of percussion and melody makes the album is worth a listen.
