Reinvention can be a tricky thing. Just ask any of the seemingly countless artists who have recorded albums that went contrary to their established musical style only to find those albums consigned to the cutout bins and used CD stores before the supporting tour was half finished. While one record certainly does not a characteristic sound make, On a Search in America, the freshman undertaking from the lads of Dizmas, certainly offered its share of incentive to produce an identical-sounding follow-up, thanks to the mostly favorable reviews that were heaped upon it at the time of its arrival in mid-2005. Rather than taking the safe route and simply tossing out America Vol. 2, though, frontman Zach Zegan and his cohorts have returned from the proverbial drawing board with a release that departs almost entirely from the barreling, garage-friendly rock ‘n roll that propelled its forerunner.
