I like the album.
Yeah, I said Iike, not "I love".
I think it's less representative of what Sick Puppies can do than Dressed up as Life.
While DuaL seemed to be a very personal album, this one is a bit more... Well, it's like if I already heard it somewhere, it doesn't sound very original.
Nonetheless, it's a good album.
I'll especially point out White Balloons. It is the first track I listened to, and for sure it is the one that surprised me the most ; while the whole album has a very classic structure, this song is very different ; it's not something like a verse-a chorus-a verse-a chorus-a bridge-a chorus. It's something much bigger, something much better ; when you hear it, you get completely surprised, and -witch is even better- you get fascinated. (And it goes without saying that Emma's singing is an excellent thing)
Well, Maybe is also a nice song ; not very original, but it's completely worth hearing.
I also like very much So What I Lied, I Hate You, Don't Walk Away, and Should've Known Better (especially the accoustic end).
The other songs will have to grow on me.
If the dream isn't real, is the lie worth defending ?
