Leave a Whisper

Post Grunge, Hard Rock

I went in thinking I wouldn't like it at all because I have listened to one of their albums before and it was one of the only times I have actively disliked a whole album/band but this has sort of suprised me by having a few good songs and everything else being just alright. Most of it may be forgettable but that's a positive compared to hate.

The first track starts off strong and I also liked Better Version and Lost in the Crowd from the first half but at the point of In Memory and All I Ever Wanted it becomes tiring because it feels all the same and I just did not care for it. I can't for the life of me remember what most of the tracks in the late mid section of the album were like because although I just listened to them there wasn't much to differentiate it from the other tracks.

45 is kind of fire and carried the end of the album and Simple Man is a pretty good bonus track, the 2 remixes are alright but the acoustic version of 45 just isn't as good as the original track. Pretty ok album for something I thought I would hate.
