Music reviews of Lights Out

Music Review: a great album and goodbye wave from the beloved pop rockers...
Rating: 4 Stars

most of you probably first heard of sugarcult with their insanely catchy debut single "bouncing off the walls" along with it being the theme of the ever-popular college movie "van wilder". not me, though. i first heard of them when i was disc jockeying for a college alternative rock station in late 2002. when djing i got a playlist of new songs to air and "pretty girl" from sugarcult was one of them. i played it and was instantly hooked by the catchy, yet dark pop-punk song. I then researched the band more and then found out they sang that catchy "bouncing off the walls" song and i was like "oh, they sung that? cool." so i bought "start static" and i loved it. fast forward two years to 2004 and "palm trees and powerlines". i too love that album for their continous catchy hooks and memorable songs. palm trees showed a slight maturity growth in the band but was still distinctly sugarcult.

Now in 2006, sugarcult release their 3rd and perhaps final album "lights out". as if the closing track on "lights out" (hiatus) is foreshadowing enough, i've read in interviews where frontman tom pagnotta is closing in on 30 and how he's tired of living the rock star life and how he wants a normal life. by being a rockstar, he can't have that he says. you can tell by listening to the album that it's almost channeling tom and his longing to be a normal guy with stability and a family life. guitarist marko72 also stated that this could be very well be their last album as a band.

with that said, if they called it quits i think the band could leave the music scene content with what they left the world. "lights out" is without a doubt their best album to date and is their masterpiece IMO. all their records have been great thus far, but this one seems to be the best and most mature. i think any record they made after this would be redundant or treading water (so to speak). the record shines with what sugarcult does best which is writing incredibly catchy songs. the album is trademark sugarcult but it has something more to it than their other albums had. the overall sound of the album is a lot more emotional, danceable, and even darker. it seems that sugarcult has always been associated with the "pop-punk" label, but not anymore. this record is more rock and you can tell a huge improvement on the guitars due to the fact it seems there's more going on with them (there's even solos).

overall, the album's raw lyrically and emotionally... yet still refined, darker, and is just a great rock record displaying some of sugarcult's best work to date. so i say to the band, bravo! on making a great career record which is "lights out". while others might disagree with me on this being their best, there's no denying that it's a great record that every sugarcult fan should own. even if your new to the band, (and probably living under a rock) you should own this great rock record. recommended to all...
