This album starts out with an interesting song. Interesting is not necessarily a good thing. With a back round synth riff that sounds almost like carnival this song is unimpressive. Especially after their previous album, “Interventions And Lullabies” begins with one of the best songs I have ever heard: “The First Single”. The second song is a very slow-paced, yet catchy song beginning with nothing but vocals and back round “oohs”. This songs downfall is toward the end when, yet again, it beings to feel almost like music that should be played in circus. The third track “Time Bomb” is a very catchy and well thought-out song. From here the album escalates. “She Doesn’t Get It” is an instant classic; in my opinion. This song has it all. Catchy voice changes, a great melody, and great guitar riffs. Everything from here on just catches you. “Pick Me Up”, “Dead End”, and “The Compromise” are three blockbuster songs. This band is the real deal; even if they are just a two man act. (in theory atleast). The rest of the album consists of consistently great songs. This is the format I was hoping for. Recommended Tracks: Track # 4: She Doesn’t Get It (Clean) Track # 5: Pick Me Up (Clean) Track # 8: Dead End (Clean) Track # 10: The Compromise (Clean)
