Tina Sparkle-All Around Champion Screw Up
Thinker Thought
September 25, 2007

Tina Sparkle play a fast moving female fronted indie pop rock style that is pretty laid back. They have spacey moments that they mix in with more aggressive parts, all with a seemless transistion. The guitar riffs are thoughtful and the drums are light and airy, giving the music a very relaxed feel.

When they want to be intense, they do a very good job of it. The bar brawl style country themed "Kiss and Tell" has a high energy level and a great rocking ability to it. Its a pick me up and a nice surprise on this mostly mellow album. They also try their hand at hard rock in "Suck the Panic," a song that is alright, but not as good as the other songs on the albums.

It took me awhile to get into this album, but overall, its pretty solid. There are some songs on All Around Champion Screw Up that I really love and will listen to for a long time to come.
