Music reviews of Can't Close My Eyes
Music Review: its kinda like...
Rating: 4 Stars
listening to a band play songs while the front man strangles a cat. Seriously, the only problem i could think of on this album is Ray can grate on your nerves if shouting and yelling is not your thing. Some context- Youth of Today are Youth Crew hardcore- essentialy young hardcore band coming out of the east coast during the late 80's. Youth Crew bands were pretty much always straight edge and the songs here reflect those veiws against substance abuse and consumption. Also it should be noted that while there many youth crew bands, and are many youth crew revival acts, Youth of Today is generally regarded as the poster child of this style of hardcore. And with good reason as this album displays.
The music is loud and fast, but its not sloppy. Everything is executed with skill and the melodies are tight. There are some breakdowns here and there, which aren't bad, but certainly don't stand up to many break downs found in songs from recent hardcore bands, so don't go looking to YoT to bring the chug. Ray Kapo keeps the lyrics pretty simple and the songs have a lot of memorable hooks. The messages conveyed are mostly about positive living and a clean life style. The album has had several extra tracks added that are mostly rare tracks from the"Connecticut Fun" compilation, originally released on Incas Records, as well as bonus track that was added to the EP when it was repressed in 1988. The addition of these tracks greatly increases the listening value of this CD as otherwise its over in about 13 min. Also the recordings have all been re-mastered so they do sound somewhat better than the older releases. If you want to explore older Hardcore bands, i'd have to recomend this one. I often hear Youth of Today covers at hardcore shows and on other albums as well, so its also a good listen to put things in perspective for younger fans who may not know much about Youth Crew hardcore.
