Music reviews of Billy Talent II
Music Review: A great second showing by Billy Talent.
Rating: 5 Stars
Here's my review of the band's second album.
Devil in a Midnight Mass: 5/5 (Great song! I love singing it. Flows nicely.)
Red Flag: 4.5/5 (I first heard this in the videogame Burnout. It's a solid track, but I've heard it a lot.)
This Suffering: 4.25/5 (Good song, nothing extraordinary though.)
Worker Bees: 4.75/5 (Love the intro... the whole song's really great to me.)
Pins and Needles: 5/5 (One of their slower songs but it's impossible to listen to without nodding along... well, for me at least.)
Fallen Leaves: 4.25/5 (Good song, but like This Suffering, nothing special... scores high because it just sounds familiar.)
Where is the Line: 4.75/5 (This song's a lot of fun to sing along to as well. One of the best on the CD.)
Covered in Cowardice: 4/5 (One of the weaker songs on the album in my opinion... just lacking something, I don't know what.)
Surrender: 5/5 (Brilliance. What else can I say? The first Billy Talent song I got hooked on.)
In The Fall: 4/5 (Another decent song, but just a little short of both Fallen Leaves and This Suffering.)
Perfect World: 4/5 (Follows along the same lines of In The Fall.)
Sympathy: 4.25/5 (Better than the past two songs on the album, but not by all-too-much.)
Burn the Evidence: 4/5 (Decent way to close out the CD. Pretty good, but another average song.)
Basically, Billy Talent II is a great CD ALMOST all the way through. While I'd say this song has more GREAT song than the band's debut, the lack of great songs towards the end of the CD make it fall just short of the first album.
Description of Billy Talent II
Billy Talent?s new album Billy Talent II, is the Toronto-based band?s first new music since the 2003 release of their breakthrough self-titled debut. Billy Talent II sees the band taking punk to new heights, amplifying the explosive energy and earnest lyricism that made their debut an international sensation. Powerful new songs like "Devil In A Midnight Mass," "Surrender" and "Red Flag" are alive with the band?s personal blend of angular angst and irresistible popcraft, all given distinctive focus via singer Ben Kowalewicz? inventive, issues-oriented songwriting.Billy Talent delivers a rock-intensive and at times eclectic disc that highlights the group's inability to write songs that have depth or elements of surprise. True, "In The Fall" has a hook that's as catchy as a soccer anthem and the anti-scenester rant "The Red Flag" proves excitingly attitudinal and carries with it a spot on Clash-meets-Green Day vibe; "Falling Leaves" and "Perfect World" demonstrate the unit's knack for crafting ear-perking opening riffs. But each of those tunes??and virtually all those found on II (save the closing "Burn The Evidence")??run out of gas by the end of the first chorus which is consistently placed as close to the front of the track as possible. All that adds up to a highly infectious but equally formulaic record that could have been recorded by a thousand other punk-influenced bands.??Jedd Beaudoin
