At a glance of the CD cover, my first impression of this guy is that he tries way too hard and that something is terribly, terribly wrong with his hair. That aside, the music is the pop sort of rock that you are likely to hear alongside artists such as Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen, which is ironic because Springsteen actually plays a part in the song “Broken Radio” on Malin’s new album. Other contributions to the album are made by Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, Jakob Dylan and Ryan Adams. The lyrics are simple and easy to understand, and their meanings tend to be light and care-free to match the upbeat style of music, unlike the more depressing material on his last record. I honestly had a hard time listening to the whole album, but if you are into “tough pop,” as Malin describes it, then check out his third album, “Glitter in the Gutter,” when it is released in March this year.
