Acumen

Diversity

Holographic

Wait a minute, I thought these guys were an industrial group. This record reeks more of folk rock cooking than the rivethead recipe. I guess these were the guys whom which the now Acumen Nation lost their moniker to. Anyways, Diversity sounds like Heart unplugged, or if Peter, Paul and Mary indulged in a little bit more puff than the Magic Dragon.

Tracks like (too ironic) •Hearts• remind me of every bar band that has tried and failed time and time again to achieve success, only to fulfill the drunken requests of some biker to play Skynyrd. I don•t know how many band members there are, or their discography, but I know that this is one for the drink coaster bin. Diverse this isn•t, and all the open-mindedness on my part couldn•t get me to play this tripe again.
