Free Music Notes for The Airborne Toxic Event
Free Music Review: One of the best CDs in awhile
Hit: 5 Stars
I haven't been inspired to write a music review for some time, but felt the need to after discovering The Airborne Toxic Event.
Clearly the band's gift for lyrics is evidenced in their first album. Upon listening to the preview tracks, I thought this album sounded too "indie" for me. I had initially become aware of the band via their track "Sometime Around Midnight" getting airtime on the radio, and I was interested in listening to more, so I decided to buy it. Most people probably agree with the idea that a CD is only as good as how it sounds after multiple listenings (and, of course, years down the road). I put this theory to the test; at first I wasn't that sold on the album, but it seemed to get better each time I listened. Before long I was listening to this multiple times a day, and it really struck a chord with me (pun intended). Time will only tell with how it sounds years down the road, but it seems like this CD has everything going for it to still be relevant years later.
As far as the album itself, it is hard to articulate in the perfect words, but this album has a way of making simple subjects seem profound and a part of what many people have to go through. For instance, in "Sometime Around Midnight," it appears that the speaker is meeting up with an old flame that he sees at a bar, and has to deal with this over the course of an evening. "Does This Mean You're Moving On" explores the difficulties of having a relationship end, and having to go on with life. Despite the serious issues covered, this album is energetic in its presentation of lyrics and music, and the songs have a catchy vibe. And, another great aspect is just the refreshing appeal that most bands seem to miss right now, which is using various instruments with excellent song writing to create balance. Both substance in lyrics and balance in music, this is one of the best CDs in quite some time. Opinions are obviously going to vary but "Sometime Around Midnight" and "Happiness is Overrated" are probably my two favorite songs. However, there isn't a weak song anywhere, and as a whole, it is easy to listen to this album all the way through (and not just because of its short length).
Great album!
