Here is what I
thought of The Dangerous Summer's album, “Golden Record.”
Remember – all scores are out of a possible 10 points.
“Catholic
Girls” - The first 26
seconds of the song need to go, but otherwise this is a very good
angst rock song. I liked the energy and the vocals, but the first 26
seconds is rather pretentious. Score: 7
“Sins” - What
I like most about this rocker is the passion in the vocals. I am a
sucker for emotionally real vocals. I also like the texture of the
music. This is a standout track. Score: 9
“Drowning” -
Wow – the music on this track
is bewitching. I like that this band is not all about the vocals, but
also about excellent musicianship. Nothing wrong with the vocals, but
it was the guitar that is the star of this track. Score: 9
“Knives” -
Another fun track. Once again
the passion of the vocals is what sold me on this one. It almost
falls into the filler track category, but those vocals make it fun to
hear. Score: 6
“Honesty” - I
am digging the vibe of this band. It is easy to listen to this kind
of music – the vocals are genuine and the music is compelling. Not
that they over overly original, but I can spot fake emotions a mile
away. This band is pouring their heart and soul into every rocking
track. Score: 8
“We Will Wait
In The Fog” - The lyrics may
be too juvenile for my taste, but the music is interesting enough.
Are they using some kinds of bells? If so, snaps for that. Score:
7
“Miles Apart”
- I was hoping this ballad –
of sorts – was going to be amazing. But the phrasing of the vocals
is quite annoying. I don't think I would go back to this one again.
Score: 3
“Into The
Comfort” - This is why I
shouldn't listen to a whole album at one time. The songs all start
running together seeing how the musical tone rarely changes. Another
decent song, but quickly forgettable. Score: 5
“I'm So
Pathetic” - The energy is
undeniable on this track, but I have heard this all before. Show me
some diversity boys! Also, do you think the feedback at the end of
the song is cool? Its not. Score: 4
“Anchor” - If
there is a radio hit on this album, this would be the one. Great
energy, fun music and catchy hooks. Score: 9
There are some
remixes and acoustic versions of songs on this album, but like Sweet
Brown, “ain't nobody got time for that.”
Average Track
Score: 6.7 Would I recommend
this to my friends? Probably.
There are enough gems on this album to warrant a recommendation, but
I would like to hear some different things from the boys.
Escalader,
