Rooftops A Forest Of Polarity |
Rooftops show huge amounts of potential in their debut album. Consisting of three guitarists, a drummer, and occasionally a trumpet player, the band creates beautifully intricate harmonies and gripping melodies that totally engross the listener and transport them into a world full of tapping guitars and energetic drumming. Despite being an intensely complex piece of music, A Forest Of Polarity manages to stay largely accessible. Rooftops' indie, pop, and math rock roots are often heard in their irresistibly catchy riffs and angelic, although infrequent, vocals. This album is definitely one not to miss, and can be recommended easily to fans of almost any type of rock. |

Protest the Hero Scurrilous |
With their past albums, the "core" parts of Protest The Hero's sound were constantly criticized by their extremely vocal haters. Too much wankery. Not heavy enough. Horrible vocals. Well now we have Scurrilous, and it's pretty much the band saying "let's take everything people don't like about us, and do more of it." Being 10x more technical, 1/2 as heavy, and having 10000x more operatic vocals, Scurrilous amplifies everything that the haters hated, and as a result succeeds in being one of the most catchy, fun, complex, and outstanding albums that 2011 has offered so far. |

Saosin In Search Of Solid Ground |
First of all, let me say that I have no issue with Cove. I think that he is a great vocalist, and fit well on their Self-Titled. That being said, this album is nowhere as good as it could have been. Saosin have moved even farther away from their post-hardcore roots, and created a mostly generic pop punk album. While the catchy choruses and great vocals are still present, the musicianship has been severely dumbed down. Instead of the intricate guitar parts that Saosin fans love, the band often uses simple power chords that do nothing to set them apart from the ocean of other pop punk/post-hardcore bands. The best songs on this album sound like anything on their Self-Titled, and while these are mostly enjoyable, they show that the band has not progressed at all. Actually, the opposite is true. The majority of the album is much worse than anything the band has written before, and gives off a feeling of sloppiness and generally laziness. This album was definitely not worth the 3 year wait. |
