utris' yearning for 'Home' fuels vision
By Heather Johnson | February 15, 2000From romantic misunderstandings to spiritual misgivings, the rock 'n' roll and punk melodies of utris' third album, "The Long Walk Home," recounts the pivotal moments in a boy's maturation into a man.   Liner Notes Album: "The Long Walk Home" Artist: Utris Featuring: "The Long Walk Home" "Some Gurls"Grade: B Each song articulates a different aspect of the difficulties of becoming a man in the modern world, describing an incredible journey "home." But these four men may already be there. Although the theme of the album is derived from the hardships of growing up, the songs themselves are uniquely pleasant. utris clearly prides itself on its individual sound, but the album's intro does little justice to the band's style.
