| During the course of a three-album career as Knapsack'ssinger/front-personality, Blair Shehan wrote some of the catchiest, sharpestEmo-Pop songs this side of the Promise Ring. His most phenomenal attributeis probably his voice. Its dynamic, jet fighter-like shrieks and seethingyet calming tones have been the focal point of all his music for goodreason -- no one sounds like Blair Shehan. Jealous Sound, his new soloeffort, offers a bit more method and a little less madness, and possiblypicks up where Knapsack's final and best album, 1998's This ConversationIs Ending Starting Right Now, left off. Jealous Sound's crafty songs --featuring piano and patient, mature songwriting and arranging, in additionto the usual bass, guitar and drums -- hint at great things to come.
