Free Music Notes for Boys Like Girls
Free Music Review: Refreshing New Group
Hit: 5 Stars
While watching NFL Total Access they played part of "The Great Escape" liked it, I went to Amazon heard samples of all the songs and bought the album. It just arrived and immediately played it. Great music, it is very refreshing to see new groups and especially talented ones. This reminds me of when "Cold Play" began. All the songs in this CD are great full of life and good messages. I highly recommended to ALL!!!Free Music Review: 3-1/2 stars -- Decent, but needs a greater escape from "the usual"
Hit: 3 Stars
Emo is one of those sub-genres that seems to have taken over mainstream radio over the past two years or so, and there are so many bands like that that a lot of times there are those who take a while to get a break. Such is the case with the band Boys Like Girls, whose self-titled album was released last summer but didn't really get any attention until "The Great Escape" started making waves THIS year. I listened to their album, and it isn't bad, but...
Boys Like Girls is probably one of the most uncreative names for a band (although the line "Will you find another boy to go kiss and tell/'Cause you know I never will" from "Five Minutes to Midnight" might make some wonder if they're crossing over), but the thing about them is, well, it's basically the same situation as a band like Cartel: they really don't do anything that distances themselves from any other emo band out there. That, and there a few times when things get a little corny, like "Dance Hall Drug" and especially "Thunder". The second acoustic version of "Hero/Heroine" is also unnecessary.
I also think that maybe the breakup songs shouldn't be all bundled together toward the end of the album (with only the aforementioned "Dance Hall Drug" able to break things up). Boys Like Girls' album is one of those albums that is a must have only if you like anything emo; otherwise, borrow it first.

Free Music Review: My new fave band
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was a little more emo than I'm used to but It's real cool. there is the S-word in tracks 10 and 11 so if you don't like cussing watch out for those two.
The Great Escape- We've all heard it on the radio. If you like this song the rest of the songs are very similar.
10/10
Five Minutes to Midnight- Very similar to an All-American Rejects song. I like it a lot.
10/10
Hero/Heroine- A lot of people can probably relate to this song. It's real good.
9/10
On top of the world- This track is more up-beat and happy than some other songs. It's a good pick-me-up song.
8/10
Thunder- AMAZING song. Very mellow. It's about a summer romance that he doesn't want to end.
10/10
Me you and my Medication- Not my favorite. Very different from the other songs. weird
7/10
Up against the wall- perhaps my favorite song on the album. The whole song captures many elements of a solid rock songs.
8/10
Dance Hall Drug- The message is don't grow up too fast. This is also a very solid rock song.
10/10
Learning to Fall- Very sad song. This guy's in love with this girl and she blows him off and goes to some other guy. Very relate-able song.
8/10
Heels over head and broken Man- S-word so I don't listen to them.
1/10
Holiday- The Grand Finale of the album. It is the perfect finish.
9/10
Overall these guys made a sweet album that shows a lot of potential.
The album is a 10/10.
-Please say if this helped you out. Peace out
