Wow!
Posted July 24, 2007
By mercury,
I was hooked the first time I heard Madmen, and marked my calendar for the release of this album. Upon listening to the full album, it wasn't quite the sound I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised nonetheless. Wavorly modernizes the 80's mainstream alternative style (Midnight Oil, Depeche Mode) with a success that very few bands have matched in recent years. This is most notable on Part One, Forgive and Forget, and Tale of the Dragon's Defeat. Time I Understood, Stay With Me, and Endless Day are solid radio-hit contenders, and the short instrumentals inerwoven throughout the album are fresh and different. The only downside is that Wavorly, more often than not, misses the mark when they slow it down- although Praise and Adore shows promise in this area. All in all, a great album from a band that has the talent to produce many more! View All Music And Book Reviews By mercury | View mercury's Profile
