Good Blending of Rock Genres
Posted March 29, 2013
By username2,
This Beautiful Republic's second (and sadly final) album strives to give us an amalgam of sounds spanning the entire rock genre. Some hit and some miss. There are songs that sound like something you'd hear on any mainstream radio station and yet there are songs that get really heavy musically. Ben Olin does a good job in trying to match these different tones vocally. The lyrics remain honest and true which is a good thing.
This Beautiful Republic mixes their sound up a bit in this album. Some of it, like the heavier songs, works while other things, like the more radio friendly pop rock songs, don't quite work. But I do admire the fact that they wanted to change their sound up a little and experiment with different rock genres. It's also a bit of a bittersweet moment in knowing that this is the final album the band will ever put out. I wished they were still around to show me what was up their sleeves for a potential third album but, alas, that will never happen.
