These Dutchies have changed their band name almost as many times as they’ve put out a record. They went from Undeclinable Ambuscade to Undeclinable and now to The Undeclinables. For album number four they found a new singer but other than that things have pretty much stayed the same.
My biggest problem with this eponymous album is that the new singer isn’t as good as the last one and he drags the whole album down a bit with him. But it’s not fair to blame everything on the poor guy because the songs start to sound more and more the same as well the further you get down the tracklisting.
So this one didn’t quite live up to my expectations. It wouldn’t be bad for a beginning band but from the band that gave us “Sound City Burning” I was expecting a little bit more than this.
Score: 6 out of 10

I totally agree (although not with the Sound City Burning part, make that Their Greatest Adventures).
They should have changed their name to something totally different, because no singer can fill the shoes of their former frontman Jasper.
Guitar sounds can be mimicked, a different voice is more than a band can take, in my opinion.
And as you said, if it was a new band, this album would be allright, but with keeping the Undeclinable (Ambuscade) link, they create high expectations.
