Music reviews of The Walk
Music Review: Something to Love
Rating: 5 Stars
It's been a long time since I have been able to listen to an album all of the way through and then want to listen to it again. The music these guys put together in this cd is awesome and their message is even better. Who knew that the band I MMMboped to in the late 90's would eventually become such an amazingly artistic group of compassionate individuals?
If you sit down and listen to the lyrics, it's obvious that these guys are more than a bunch of musicians trying to sell an album. They present so much passion and truth between the catchy rock chords that advertise their message of goodwill. Before each concert, they invite their fans to walk a mile with them to raise money for shoes (with Tom's Shoes) for children in various countries who would otherwise have to walk around barefoot. Not only is this a great way to raise money for a charity but they take more time out of their lives to spend it with their fans. How many other bands do things like this?
The first song, "Great Divide" has a great guitar part throughout the verses that leads into the chorus. The guys harmonize in the chorus and their vocals are right on. The overall message of hope and peace seems appropriate for the time we find ourselves in. Taken as a whole, it is a great, uplifting song that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
"Running Man" is one of my favorites of the album. The music in this song is fun to listen to. And as a couple of reviewers have already mentioned, the lyrics/vocals are really great. The chorus is also very catchy and I'm not surprised when I find myself humming it.
"Fire on the Mountain" is also another one of my favorites. This song is a little slower than the ones I've already mentioned but the lyrics are beautiful. It's hard to imagine how young these guys actually are with the amount of wisdom that pours out of this song. And as always, the music fits the lyrics making the song uniformed in style and in structure.
"Something Going Round" has a great mixture of electric guitar, interesting snare beats and rhythmic piano. I feel as if this song is declaring that Hanson is ready for the world to take them on whether we, as listeners, are ready to accept them or not; and in the long run, they don't care as long as they get to play their music. Rather than begging their listeners to like them, they are asking everyone to just truthfully listen. Of course, this is just my opinion but the power of choice seems like a major part of this song.
Each song on this album has something to offer the listener and I really think that as a whole, the cd could attract many different types of music lovers. Buy it.
Description of The Walk
It's hard to hear The Walk from end to end without wishing the brothers Hanson could go back in time and undo the career-stunting megahit that was "MmmBop." If it wasn't for that 1997 song, catchy and guilty-pleasurable as it was, the boys would be well on their way to winning over the kind of committed audience a disc as focused and fine-tuned as this one deserves. There's nothing particularly high-minded here (excepting the single "Great Divide," a downloadable track whose sales will benefit an African orphanage), but each song radiates a level of pop-rock accomplishment that surpasses most anything you'll hear on top 40 radio. Hanson, in fact, has more in common with acts like Fountain of Wayne and Amos Lee these days than anybody you'll see strutting across a TV screen in skin-tight pants. Highlights on a disc without a single dud include "Georgia," contemplatively sung by Taylor, and "Running Man," an addictive Squeeze-meets-Beatles rock ditty co-written by Zac. In its 15-year history, Hanson has won the right to talk the talk about the hardships and satisfactions of maturing musically; The Walk backs that talk up beautifully. --Tammy La GorceGeneral CDs
