Free Music Review: Another great Get Up Kids CD
Hit: 5 Stars

I must admit that when I first listened to this CD, I was lukewarm about it at best. However, after a few listens, this CD quickly grew on me, and now I love it more than any of their previous CDs. It captures all the anguish and emotions that one goes through when being left by a loved one, whether it be by a father or a girlfried, a feeling most of us can relate to. If ever you are feeling lonely, this is definately the CD to listen to. Here is an overview of each track:
1. Overdue - a great opener, an accoustic song that sets the theme for the whole CD brilliantly. A very emotional song about being left by a father who is "24 years overdue."

2. Stay Gone - One of the more catchier, poppier songs, yet still extremely good.

3. Let the Reigns Go Loose - The instrumental intro and outro in this song are AMAZING. The rest of the song is nothing special though, yet still solid.

4. Fall From Grace - One of my least favorite songs of the CD, yet still pretty good. Matthew's voice just sounds weird in this one.

5. Grunge Pig - Probably my third favorite song on this CD. Has a great rock guitar sound, and the lyrics are so great. "Don't have bruises I can show, scars from abuse without a blow." is one of my favorite lines of any song.

6. High as the Moon - A very poppy song, but a good one. And I just love the line "waiting for you, should be a sin." because it emotes how when you have been left, you keep waiting, even though you know you shoudln't, yet still do because you love them, even if they are treating you like crap.

7. All That I Know - probably my least favorite song on the CD. One of two songs that the lead guitarist has the lead vocals on.

8. Walking on a Wire - my favorite song on the CD. The bass line is amazing, the lead guitar is amazing, the keyboard line is amazing, the lyrics are amazing, and matthew's voice sounds amazing. (The songs is just amazing) When Matthew hits the extremely high note at the very end, it sends chills down my spine, and then it is followed by a minute of great instrumentals. And when I heard it live, it was even better.

9. Wish You Were Here - The poppiest song of the CD, yet still very good. As you can see by the title, its about yearning for a loved one who has left you to still be with you.

10. Campfire Kansas - A great acoustic song that was written and sang by the lead guitarist about reminissing about the good times.

11. Worst Idea - Has a retro 80's beat to it, which I didn't like at first but now think it is cool. The line "I'll go with the worst idea if everyone takes the toll" sums up that even though he thinks the idea is terrible, he will go along it, basically because its all he can do.

12. Hannah Hold On - My second favorite song on the CD. A BEAUTIFUL acoustic song that you will find stuck in your head for hours after you hear it. And this song could not possibly be more fitting for an ending to On A Wire. Its about letting go of a relationship that has failed. And anyone who has ever been heart broken and had to let go of someone they loved, will be able to connect to this song.

In conclusion, BUY THIS CD! It's amazing and you won't be let down if you listen to it with an open mind, meaning don't try to compare it to other TGUK songs becuase they are completely different and cannot be compared.
