Free Music Notes for Light It Up
Free Music Review: A Must Own
Hit: 5 Stars
This song has 8 must have tracks on it. Their two radio hits, Light it Up and Hell Yeah are recorded early on the album. Hell Yeah is like an anthem kind of hit that makes you want to pump your fists and jump around. Light it Up is a hit that is made to appeal to the mainstream a little more than Slowburn from their first album. However, the best songs on the track are mixed in. Favorite Disease and Wanted Man are the best songs on the album. I saw Rev Theory in concert w/ papa roach and hinder. When they played Wanted Man live, I immediately hoped it would be the new sound of their new album-- and it is. Rich Luzzi, vocals, has grown so much with his vocal skills. He can sing much better than their first album (which was still a killer album). The band itself has a much cleaner sound to it, while still playing as hard as ever. Kick drums are very crisp and hit with authority. The new bandmember helping with guitars is a great addition. The backup vocals are encountered more in this album than in their first. The backup vocals are a great part of the album-- especially on songs like Broken Bones and 10 Years. On their first album, Over the Line was the only attempt at a slow song, and it was very bad. Broken Bones is 1000x better and is truly a hit song. Rich's new singing abilities allow him and the backup vocals to truly have their first hit slow song, but it still has a powerful 3rd chorus in it and an addicting/rythmic bass line. 10 Years is a totally new sound for Rev Theory. 10 years begins with a rich (no pun intended) and subdued vocal intro. Then is slams into the most powerful extended vocals Rich Luzzi has ever done. The song goes back and forth between nodding your head to the beat-- and then back to cranking up the volume during the chorus and yelling with the vocals. No one yell-sings better than Rev Theory. They are in a class of their own and deserve to be in the class with 3 days grace, if not better. It is like Rev Theory is the "nu" itteration of Bon Jovi. Hard band play, asstounding and one of a kind lead vocals, subdued- yet critical supporting vocals, incredibly rythmic bass lines, yet still able to carry on effortlessly with a slow song like Broken Bones (the last point being something the first album truly lacked). 10 years may be the new heart-felt ballot version of a song like After the Rain (one of my favorites from the 1st album, Truth is Currency). Again, Wanted Man is definitely the best song on the album, especially after you have heard it live and in concert almost a year before the album came out! You're The One is an song you would never expect from Rev Theory, but once you begin listening to it, you realize how much this band has grown in the past 2 years, they pull this song off well. The vocals are strong and extended. The lyrics are meaningful and the chorus in this song is great because it transitions between 2 different sounds. So you end up with 3 alternating sections to this song, something very new for Rev Theory, and hopefully something they will continue on their 3rd album. Far From Over is a great final song on the album. It does a good job of giving you one final piece of the new Rev Theory flavor before it's over. It carries the album to an end with grace. The only song I do not like is Kill The Headlights.
The best part about this album is how Rev Theory priced it!! I got mine for 7.99 which included 1 bonus accoustic track, and a DVD. That is an incredibley affordable price. A price of 7.99, for that much content, shows that Rev Theory cares about their fans and is not trying to break the bank with a 13.99 CD. If you like Rev Theory, help them out and personally buy the album.
You will get your monies worth with this album. It may be short, at 10 tracks, but 9 or them are GREAT, with 7 of them being radio "hit" worthy (2 already are!). They are a great band to see in concert, and they even autographed my Truth Is Currency album! They are a down to earth bunch of guys and they are a great band. At Merriweather in Columbia, MD, me and my sister were able to take pictures with the band, they were very nice about it. It was an incredibly hot and humid August day and the fellas were just kicking back a few ice cold drinks at their booth after performing. I hope I can afford to see them in concert again to hear more songs off their new album!
If you are a current Rev Theory fan, this is a must own CD. If you are a new fan of their 2 radio hits, Light it Up/ Hell Yeah, you will love the rest of the album! If you have never heard Rev Theory at all, but like bands like 3 days grace, breaking benjamin, or dare I say, Seether, you will love this album. And for 7.99, you have no excuse not to just buy the entire album, it costs less than 1 hour of you working.. Get it today!!!!
