Everyday Sunday has woken up
Posted February 06, 2008
By Nathan,
After a pretty weak album (anthems for the imperfect) the punk/pop band Everyday Sunday bounced back in a big way with "Wake Up! Wake Up!". And it was pretty much clear that a change had occurred with their partial hit single "find me tonight".
The first two songs are both singles and both very good, "Lets' go back now" is a fun punk song and has a great flow and the title track "Wake up! Wake up!" is also solid. "Take me out" is an upbeat pop song but is not as good as the first two tracks, but is still nice. "find me tonight" does not have a great punk beat, but is great and has the most mature sound of the album on it.
Another terrific punk song is "apathy for apologies" which has a great chorus, on the flipside is "I'll get over it (Miss Elaineous)" which is not the impressive. "What we are here for" wraps up the good punk songs for the album. The final two songs "From Me To You, and "Tell me you will be there" are both good soft songs. A big improvement for Everyday Sunday, besides their music" is the vocals which go along with the songs much better than their last CD.
The lyrics didn't take much of a climb in Wake Up! Wake Up!, and as expected the lyrics are a little light. "Find Me tonight" and "Wake up! Wake up!" messages are pretty similar and not that deep, and the song "I'll get over it (Miss Elaineous)" is pretty much pathetic. But that bands heart is in the right place ("apathy for apologies", From Me to You, and "Tell me you will be there" are all pretty solid).
A huge improvement, one which will probably put Everyday Sunday up with the big Christian pop/punk bands, the lyrics are still a little shallow and the music still not quite to perfection but c'mon they were only wakening up.
