About this Album:
For a full length debut album on an indy label this is very impressive, I would predict big things.Though definitely on the commercial end of the now well established nu skool punk/emo genre, the vocals especially stand out far more as special than my old teenage favourites such as blink, greenday and NFG. Most tracks have an extremely catchy chorus with accompanying pounding rhythmn although the guitars for me don't stand out as much as they should and the drumming, although at points brilliant, on some occasions is forceably too fast for the song.Their website states Amber Pacific didn't want any filler tracks at all on their first album and you can tell they've tried to achieve this, although with many bands of this genre it is difficult to achieve with a first listen through, the songs in the middle blend in together slightly and seem to lose that edge that strts of the album with the first couple of tracks. Having said that my favoutite tracks have to be 'Save Me From Me' and 'The Sky Could fall Tonight' both producing waves of awesome emoness.Anyway, if anyone actually reads this I hope it is helpful and if anyone is still mourning the death of blink etc - move on to this - these guys are the next generation!Biggles
