Elocation

Edit

I listned to the cd, and there are honestly no words to describe how great it is. It totally exceded my expectations and every song is awesome. Here is a song by song comparison:

1. Who Followed Who - A nice fast way to start of the cd with a fast song, it shows of Dallas's voice really well, and the solo also helps

2. (Taking My) Life Away - Not much else can be said about this song, its awesome, good choice as a first single

3. Movin' On - The only song I haven't listened to much. Might take a couple more listens, but still a very good song

4. Throw it All Away - I have loved this song from day one and it didn't dissapoint. This song gives me chills listening to it. The guitars are super heavy and Dallas' voice is superb

5. Cruel - Another favorite of the album, definatly showcases Dallas' voice. An awesome song to crank up the volume on.

6. Made to Lie - A nice rest after all of the heavier songs. A really great flowing song with great energy

7. Crossing the Line - Probably my second favorite song on the album, Jeremy's guitar playing is great, definatly some of his best work.

8. Without You - Not one of my favs, but once again an awesome song, really good lyrics, and another nice solo from Jeremy

9. Break Down Doors - I've heard this song so many times live, and yet it still blew me away when I listened to it. A really fast intense song, also love the new solo Jeremy added.

10. Enough- Another great song, can't remember it to much right now, but I like Danny's drumming

11. All She Wrote - An absolutly beautiful song, love the flow and the lyrics, a great slow song

12. Alone- Another song ive heard live and they changed it up with the piano to give it a really cool vibe.

Contrary to what many people are saying, this album is very different from The Fallout, and I personally think that it is much better

I didn't like this cd better than Default's first cd The Fallout. A majority of the songs seem to be either about cheating or groupies on Elocation (not something I can relate to). On the Fallout the songs seemed to be about wanting to get away from people that just keep bringing them down (something I can relate to).

For people who like good guitar playing (and a few solos)and cool singing Default has improved. I think I'll just have to get over not being able to relate to the lyrics (I'm sure they don't really care if an eighteen year old girl can relate to their lyrics or not anyway).

My favorite on this cd is Break Down Doors because of the energy the whole band gives to it. I'm sure not everyone will agree with me since I tend to like odd songs.My favorite on The Fallout was Faded...

Since I know reviews really aren't worth all that much (either you like the cd or not, it's all personal preference)I'll just put in a comment on the content of the cd.

The only swear words on this cd are bull(blank)and hell. Suggestive lyrics are minimal, the worst one is in All She Wrote with the lyric "Lying here in your bed/The one that you liked to do it in." That made me cringe but I've heard worse.
