Pity poor Starsailor. The band’s debut, “Love is Here,” is a collection of melodic, enjoyable guitar pop, but the specter of “OK Computer” and “The Bends” looms large over the proceedings, and the band can’t help but come across as diet Radiohead.With the aforementioned albums, Radiohead helped create its own genre, one that seemed to meet halfway between the inward-looking eclecticism of R.E.M. and the arena-ready grandiosity of U2. Thom Yorke’s ethereal wail and Johnny Greenwood’s guitars made music big enough to play to the cheap seats but unique enough to sound fresh and different.But with the its next two albums, “Kid A” and “Amnesiac,” Radiohead turned its eye to more experimental territories and gave up the straight-ahead guitar rock sound that many people love.Sensing a hole, some bands, namely Travis and Coldplay, started releasing albums that sounded like Radiohead when Radiohead still sounded like Radiohead. And now comes Starsailor. It’s hard to knock the album. It sounds so good when it’s playing, and in this age of pompous dirge-rock, it’s nice to hear a group that seems to consist of genuinely real human beings.The album’s single, “Good Souls,” is a celebration of nice people.”Alcoholic” is about alcoholism in the family. These topics may be a bit sappy, but they beat songs about breaking stuff.Yet the album still feels vaguely dissatisfying. For all it’s earnest, heart-on-the-sleeve vocals and rather lovely melodies, “Love is Here” still feels like it’s treading water.Sure, Travis and Coldplay have good albums, but they’re albums that sound a heck of a lot like “Love is Here.” And vice versa.Some bands (Sigur Ros being the best example) have used Radiohead’s sound as a jumping-off point to make wonderful new music. Maybe someday Starsailor will find its own sound.Until then, we’ll have to make do with what we’ve got.And it could be worse.
