SUMMER'S END kicks off this album with some reflections of the Gin Blossoms with their guitar tones and the melody which is quite interesting. The melody and lyrics still hold up throughout the song. Check it out. YOU COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER has a superb pop beat and has the feel of The Rembrandts which is supercool. The melody and lyrics are great in this song. You'll be bound to get hooked on this song. I love i
LUCKY ME has a whole new feel as the pounding guitars are in your face and the melody is once again as strong as ever. WOW! Is all I can say. IF WE DARE brings a whole new feel to the band as they seem to mellow out a bit in the intro as the feel of the band is totally different, which shows a whole new side of them. Very, very impressive. What a great song.
BEAUTIFUL LIE is a laid back song as the harmonies are super strong as the melody and lyrics will really touch you. This song is a song that will really hit home with you. Amazing song as you can 'feel it'. GOODBYE CALIFORNIA brings an end to this album as the lyrics and melody states it all in this song. This song once again is as strong as ever as they tell their story. They seem to have a Bon Jovi vibe in this song. WOW! Is all I can say. Please give them a listen.
