Free Music Review: Gatsby's American Dream - 'Ribbons & Sugar'.
Hit: 5 Stars
Gatsby's American Dream is one of the most highly regarded bands out there. In the previous 3 years, they have consistanly released 2 full lengths ('Why We Fight' - 2001 & 'Ribbons & Sugar' - 2002)and an EP ('In The Land Of Lost Monsters' - 2004). Each of the records released are amazing, and very different from each other. Since then, Gatsby's American Dream have been linked to loads of label, before signing a deal with Fearless Records.
'Ribbons & Sugar', which is based around George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', demonstrates why exactly they are such a highly regarded band. I must admit, having bought this record without hearing any of there songs, except one on their previous record, i expected them to be 'pop-punk'. But on this record, there really isn't a genre. I was sort of taken a back, and wasn't totally into it. But after a few more listens, i totally fell in. From the instrumental finess of 'The Taming', to the fast upbeat songs such as 'Work Lies Sex Love Feat Hate Friendship' and 'Apparation', to the amazingly delicate, 'The Horse You Rode In On', to the final track 'Counterfeit Language', they demostrate a very wide range of musically talents. They experiment with different time signitures, and some unusual guitar work. Also, each track is really hard to explain, because it is very complex with so many different break downs, and it can go from a fast to slow within a few seconds. What is very different, is how the lead signer has such a polished, and has such a wide range in his vocal ability.
Overall, Gatsby's American Dream's 'Ribbons & Sugar' is an exceptional release. Though the whole record is just under 30 minutes, with only 2 tracks over passing the 3 minute mark, they are unique and refreshing to everything thats overloading the airwaves, and they are very unpredictable. It's really amazing how fast a band can transform within a year, and release such an amazing album. Having said that, its clear they have a bright future, and they are defiently one to keep an eye out for.
