Free Music Notes for The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal Of Life Ends
Free Music Review: Not as powerful as the debut
Hit: 4 Stars
In early 2006 I discovered Evans Blue with their debut album, The Melody And The Energetic Nature Of Volume. Every track on the album was memorable, catchy and very unique compared to today's standard alternative rock. It was clear these guys were something special.
Flash forward to March 2007. Via MySpace I learned that Evans Blue was releasing a new album already... In only a little over a year since the debut. I was a bit worried because this seemed like a rushed project (most bands take at least 2 years inbetween albums) and I was afraid the quality would suffer. I heard the single on the radio soon after and to my surprise it was very good and very Evans Blue-ish. Maybe my worries were for nothing?
Well I wasted no time picking this CD up the day it came out and when I popped it in the CD player it was clear that this CD is not as powerful as the debut. There are some hits, don't get me wrong.. Q, Pin-Up and The Pursuit all hit the spot very well. The lyrics are very poetry-like, as the debut was. The distinct guitar is there as well. The album just seems to lack the bite that the debut had... Maybe its because there is no hard hitting song like Cold (but i'm still here), or maybe its just because we've heard this sound before already. All in all I give this CD 4/5 stars, and Evans Blue fans will most certainly enjoy it... but I still can't help but think that something here is missing in the formula
Free Music Review: One Word.....Awesome!
Hit: 4 Stars
I have to admit. I had my doubts about this album. Usually when a band releases their second cd so soon after their first, it turns out to sound rushed and have no good songs on there. But Evans Blue really surpised me. One reviewer on here said that the lyrics are like poetry and I couldnt agree more. The songs are incredibly catchy, especially Q, In A Red Dress and Alone, and Dear Lucid. Is it as good as The Melody and the Energetic Nature of Volume? No. But that shouldnt stop you from picking this cd up. You wont regret it...trust me. So what are you waiting for? Get up and go get this!Free Music Review: Good
Hit: 4 Stars
I think the only reason I just don't like this cd all that much is because of how they covered Caught a Light Sneeze by Tori Amos. That song is one of my all-time favorites, and to hear it as it's presented on the album just made me cringe.
I think all the other songs on the cd are superb, but that one song just demoted that whole album for me.
Free Music Review: Disappointing but still worth the buy
Hit: 4 Stars
Easy to say disappointing cause their debut was amazing so it would have been hard to top that, but still a good rock album with only a few bad tracks so definately worth the purchase. I look forward to whatever these guys do in the future, hopefully they won't rush the next one.Free Music Review: not too shabby
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm going to buy more of this artist. While the genre has a bunch of bands that are really vanilla this band breaks the mold. Listen to the audio previews if you don't believe me. Worth the price if you're looking for something a little different.
