Very promising debut CD from talented Songwriter!

1. A nice funky tune that reminds me of grooves by Phish, Blind Melon. Todd has a great voice and it's pretty catchy. Were it my tune I wouldn't have opened the CD with it butstill a good tune.
2. This one reminded me of the Cars. Kickass
3. I didn't know what to make of this one at first it really threw me for a loop.Once the punchline was delivered it was friggin hilarious and rawkin! Elements of Cheap Trick and Queen. Dig that cowbell!
4. This was a nice ballad with a nice acoustic sound. While I'm not a fan of ballads this tune had a nice Steve Miller vibe to it.
5. This is a kickass electronic groove. Kinda like Tin Machine or something.It comes out thundering at first then reverts to a rock beat which was kinda odd but it still worked. The lyrics are political, the guitars are mean. Great singalong tune. I'd like to cover this one but in a heavier more industrial style. My favorite track!
6. This reminded me of 80's euro-electro pop.
Since I'm not that hip on this style I won't attempt elaborate. All told a damn good tune. It sounds like it should already be a hit on the radio.
7. Great lyrics. Funny as hell and sad at the same time.
Sell this to someone in Nashville and cash in! Digging the Alman Bros. styled harmonized leads.Yeah!
8. This had really cool guitar tones on it. It reminded me of 90s alt-rock ala Collective Soul.
9. This was a good poppy tune with great vocal in the vein of 70's Steve Miller and maybe Todd Rundgren?
10. This is a kickass Barbershop Doowop tune. Nice way to round out the CD
All in all Tamoore really did a great job on his CD. I was mightly impressed and I'm a jaded music fan living in Austin TX. Great tunes. Nice production and mix. Top Notch stuff. Who knows what could happen in the future with a high profile producer!

Brilliant assemblage of pop tunes....
author: Brent
G33K’s “What We Still Haven’t Learned” is a brilliant assemblage of songs from start to finish, featuring pop tunes that span an assortment of influences from many different eras of rock music. All of these songs contain captivating vocal and instrumental hooks while enticing the listener with a wide array of lyric topics, emotions and sonic excellence. From alpha to omega, this G33K album reminds the audience of yesteryear, when every track was meaningful, every song had substance and every song had meaning. “What We Still Haven’t Learned” is NOT the typical, modern-day 15 to 20 track album full of pretentious B-sides that we are bombarded with today in the MP3 age. The overall diversity of this album is evident from the ballads “Cut” and “Does He Have A Sister” to the bold, rocking bluntness of “Live 2 Die” and “Every Time,” to the fun, cheery, summertime-inspired tunes like “OK” “Pretty Penny” and “Red Rocket of Love.” Not only does this album appeal to the mainstream listener but also is intriguing and captivating to the most demanding of listeners with songs that strike out with progressive brilliance such as “Goodbye” and the driving, harmonically and lyrically excellent “You’re Not Right.” The talent of G33K gets overwhelming on the final acapella, do-wop track, “Please Come Again,” which takes us back to the sounds of the 1950’s. If you are looking for an album full of songs that are brilliantly composed, written and performed with a professional sound, then look no further than “What We Still Haven’t Learned,” by G33K.

This cd is amazing. It reminds you of songs you knew when you where little.. but you have never heard them before. Pop song writing genius, with a dash of 80's flare.
