Almost Here

The Academy Is...

Edit

I heard about this band back in early June. I was very skeptical at first but they were recommended to me by FOB fans, so I thought I'd give them a listen. One word: unbelievable. I fell in love almost instantly. I am so glad I listened to this band.

Attention-This track certainly got my attention. Upon hearing this song, I knew I could expect great things from the rest of the CD.

Season-Yet another wonderful track. Very inspiring.

Slow Down-One of my favorite tracks. Everything that is written in this song is, sadly, true.

The Phrase That Pays-Used to be my least favorite track but it's grown on me. Good song to listen to if you're ever feeling down.

Black Mamba-Hands down, the best track on the CD. I love his way of dealing with the press and to make a statement such as that is very daring. Kudos for that.

Skeptics and True Believers-The first song I ever listened to by TAI. Very addicting. I find it stuck in my head a lot.

Classifieds-I love the music on this one.And the lyrics are wonderfully done, per usual.

Checkmarks-Another one of my favorites. William's range is amazing. And once more, the boys are making a statement.

Down and Out-Again, another favorite. Good to listen to when you're sad, good to listen to when you're happy. It's just so good that no matter what mood you're in, you'll enjoy this song.

Almost Here-Excellent music on this one. Very catchy words. For some reason I can't help but smile when listening to this track.

Overall, one of the best damn CD's I ever spent my money on. These boys are writing about everything that matters. Life, money, relationships, family, careers, everything. They pulled it off in a way I never thought would be possible. This CD is so unique and I don't think you'll ever come across another like it. Pure gold. I cannot wait for their next CD and expect it will be just as good, or if possible, even better.

Much love to them and this brilliant CD
