Album Review: Lights and Sounds

Ok, some people may be wondering why I'm posting during school hours; well, let doubt linger no more. I'm in CET (Computer Engineering Technologies) class right now. I finished all my work (and some extra...like networking the class :) and thought I would post an album review. This morning, after seminary, I decided to buy my first new album. I bought Yellowcard's new album, Lights and Sounds. All throughout today, I've been listening to the music. The story behind this goes back several years to when I first got into music. The first band I ever really liked was, surprsisngly, Yellowcard. I downloaded the entire album (legally, of course) and before a week had passed, my favorite band was born. Anyway, it's been about 4 years since their last release, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to check it out. The album contains 14 songs, including the soundtrack to the music video Lights and Sounds. Overall I've been very pleased with the purchase. The music is reminiscent of Yellowcard's last album, Ocean Avenue. The music sounds more grownup, but the Violin that seperates Yellowcard from other bands remains vibrantly strong. I'll give a few of my favorite tracks here. Also stay tuned as I update the music player with a few new Yellowcard songs. Favorite tracks:

How I Go
Lights and Sounds
Three Flights Up (Instrumental)
Words, Hands, Hearts
City of Devils

Alright guys, I'm out for now. Check out Yellowcard's new album, and stay tuned today for a VERY special update. Thanks for the support guys. Adam, over and out from MAHS.

    Yeah, The class is probably going to kill me :)

    Now, favorite song? That's a tough question. I have a couple of favorite songs, but I think you would probably like different songs. My favorite song is probably "Words, Hands, Hearts" or "How I Go." Both are reasonably soft, but have awesome lyrics. "Lights and Sounds" is a get pumped kinda song. However, were I to recommend a song to you, I would recommend "Three Flights Up." It's purely instrumental and sounds very calssy, just plain good. "How I Go" is a song written by the lead singer to a child (presumably his, were he to ever have one). The violinist of the group conudcts a 25 piece string orchestra in the background, which is dang good. There is also a child singer singing almost in sync with the lead signer, which gives the song a unique and captivating sounds.

    Anyway, that's my in-depth review :) Hope you liked it!

    I'm more interested now in listening to it. Sounds like there might be songs I'd like!
