A friend sent me this album, and it sounded boring as fuck.
I can't argue much about that one. It's not as much boring as in "in an annoying kinda way", more like "in an forgetable kinda of way". It's the kinda of album you leave playing in the background and never stop whatever you were doing to think: man that was a nice piece.
At any rate, I agree with your quote of 55-60; that puts it in the upper half of
Medium, lower half of
Fair, which is exactly where this album belongs.
I think Ben's right in his review about the tempo being kinda constant throughout the entire album. Varying it a little bit would probably given it much more of a personality....
All things consider, it's not a bad album, but it's probably gonna get lost into the stream of good albums released around this time of the year.
