Jump aren't horrible. Home Songs features a number of pleasant enough tunes ("Home Song" comes across like a poppier latter-day Grateful Dead) but it's hard to get a strong fix on whether they've got a real,
honest-to-goodness enticing voice that'll elevate them
to something greater. While much of the material is
derivative ("All Hail" is okay but it's an obvious
Mark Knopfler knockoff that never gets off the
ground), it's easier to listen to stuff that tries too
hard to be innovative. Is that enough to recommend
this release? Maybe as a souvenir to the band's live
shows which surely must be entertaining. Some
interesting stuff, but don't make plans to change your
life around Jump's touring schedule.
