In theory, Jason Collett’s third album, “Here’s to Being Here,” should be irresistible. Composed mostly of the anecdotal, country-tinged anthems on which so much modern music is founded — the kind some greedily horde in their iTunes collections — the album panders quite openly to a certain set of sensibilities.

Collett, divorced from his mother band Broken Social Scene, produces solo work that appropriately sounds like the group’s folkier side distilled into a neat package, minus the anarchic social energy that makes them worthwhile in the first place. “Here’s to Being Here” plods along at a pleasantly mediocre pace, alternating between appreciably personal songs and tracks like “Not Over You,” a ballad about as genre-weary as its title indicates.

Still, even if Collett’s potential remains as doggedly consistent as its failure to materialize, keep the superlatives ready — just in case.

"Here's to Being Here" by Jason Collett received two and a half out of four stars.
