And now i feel no different.
(And I've got first time listening euphoria now)
Yes they are well on their way to being my second favorite band of all time (wonder who the first is
)The album manages to sound realistic and epic at the same time. It's beauty at time can really be quite striking.
I have to say i never thought Tom DeLonge of Blink 182 could ever display such grandure but i've underestimated him on a grand scale.
The album starts off with the glorious 'Call to Arms'-All U2 fans will salivate over the intro to this song,
It continues into other epic songs, but seemingly never enough to grow tiresome.
I won't go into detail about the other ones, as not to spoil it. But i'll say this, if you miss the days when U2 were epic. These guys can fill that gap, how much depends entirely on you.
It has the feeling as if a' 3-piece in a garage', yet something so much bigger.
It's a lot more electronic than the last due to the addition of new Keyboardist/Bassist Matt Werchter
The first album was built for a stadium, and don't get me wrong there are some great room filling songs on this one too, but this has a lot more range than the first album.
I may just have listened to it for the first time, but i can safely recommend it.
And it left me with this final thought...
"Man would they be a great opening act..."
