Music reviews of A Band in Hope
Music Review: near-great, but let me say something...
Rating: 4 Stars
don't get me wrong, I really enjoy this album, but there's one flaw that just tends to bug me sometimes.
With Decomposer, The Matches showed that radical creativity is just a natural thing for them; they're naturally weird and different. And that's what attracted me to them.
The thing with this album is, often times it seems like The Matches are trying harder and harder to be weird and different, instead of just letting the radical creativity come to them.
Alot of songs on this album reach near-operatic status, but none of this are really bad things, in fact I like it sometimes.
Description of A Band in Hope
The new release from Oakland, CA's Matches is the sonic showcase the band has always deserved, matching their intense, sardonic, and infectious songs with ambitious arrangements that recall the studiocraft of the 70s. One of Alternative Press's most anticipated albums of 2008. The band will also be co-headlining this spring's Alternative Press tour. RIYL: Motion City Soundtrack, Panic! At The Disco, Say Anything.General CDs
