He actually has GREAT music taste, and this was a CD that I played over and over for the entire summer after he and I had finally met. I am not entirely certain of what is so appealing about these guys. In some cases the vocals sound a little off, even in a recorded version, which can lead you to wonder about their live show capabilities. However, the fact is, the entire CD is a great CD. Not one song on it doesn't have replay value. They are a very good indie rock band, and they shouldn't stop at one disc, but instead start on number two. Their album of 2008 is their only release, and that I think is particularly unfortunate. My hope is that they will come back at some point with some more savory music.
LOW VS. DIAMOND
-Don't Forget Sister
-I really love this song, as I think it has a lot of energy, and I love the lyrics as well. It isn't a complex piece of music, but it's meaningful and it has a lot of replay value (as I stated above). Pretty intriguing music video as well ;)
-This is Your Life
-I like this tune because it builds upon itself quite well as it goes along, and it blossoms into a pretty significant ballad. I think for what it lacks in knock-your-socks-off originality, it makes up for in it's heart. My only bone to pick is the sharp guitar solo at the end. I finally got over that one after a few listens.
-Actions are Actions
-"He's an over-privileged boy, who's careless with his words, his actions are the actions of a child." I love the opening line, not sure why... just do. This is a really solid tune, and I think my favorite of the album. Check it out.
-Song We Sang Away
-This is a really great song, and another one of my favorites off of the album. I would suggest getting a listen in on this one.
As I said, this is a really solid album all the way through. Other songs you should check out are Killer B
, Heart Attack
, Wasted
and Save Yourself
. Hopefully this was enough to whet the appetite on a really solid band.
Thanks for comin' around!
