Not unlike his hero Jeff Lynne, Tal Bachman fills his songs with layered harmonies, chiming guitars, and crashing hooks. Half the fun of TAL BACHMAN comes from identifying the artists who served as influences for songs that deal with such adult subject matter as aging relatives (the Queen-flavored "I Wonder"), lifelong monogamy (the Nilsson-esque "Beside You"), and total devotion (the Lennon-like lushness of "You're My Everything"). But for all his sentimentality, Bachman still manages to retain a nose for crunching power-pop on numbers like the Cheap Trick-influenced "Darker Side of Blue," "She's so High," and the funky "You Don't Know What it's Like."
