Disappear

PFR

Edit

PFR have returned! I waited expectantly for this new release despite the fact that I couldn't wait! Now, expectations sometimes spoil the taste of a new album. Not so here. What I expected was more great songs from one of the greatest, most underrated bands ever, and that was exactly what I got!

On their previous album, Them, PFR embraced a rockier sound, with driving, four on the floor grooves, and wailing distortion, with Hanson's superb voice soaring above the tight rhythm section.

More of the same here. That is to say, if you liked Pour Me Out, Line of Love, and also Last Breath from Great Lengths, you'll love this album.

Amsterdam opens with a thick groove before clearing out for a flowing verse, then rocks back into a catchy chorus. The next song, Gone, has a hook the size of Texas, and is backed up by Hanson's earnest vocal, or is it the other way around?

Other great moments include the album's longest track, Missing Love, a moving prayer, All Ready, a loping, 6/8 groover that just screams, "We're back and we love it!" Well, I can't list the high points or low points, as both are non-existent. PFR simply puts out good stuff. They don't rehash old melodies or hooks, as the music just flows out of them.

Get it ASAP! Find out what you're missing! And if you already know what you're missing, what's taking you so long?
