It’s Great To See Their Comeback! Itulah kata yang terlintas di benak ketika melihat album rilisan terbaru mereka di tahun 2008 ini, atau tepatnya album ketiga mereka. Banyak sekali perubahan di album Sweet Attention ini. Khususnya di sektor layer & materi yang menyeruak di setiap lagu yang terdapat di album kali ini. Is it a boy band with emo pop touch? Nope, they did a new formula on the scene through. Jangan bayangkan kalian bisa mendengarkan lagu-lagu seperti, Poison Like Your Own, The Silhouettes atau Liars & Battlelines dari album The Goodnight Moon, yang masih kental dengan unsur emo yang di balut dengan suasana akustik yang indah. Yang patut di acungi jempol, mereka masih setia dengan pakem melodi gitar vintage yang selalu menghiasi lagu di rilisan-rilisan mereka sebelumnya. Coba simak lagu Vampire Vegas, so Tahiti 80’ish sekali, tapi dengan patron yang ga bisa di pandang sebelah mata atau bisa juga di sebut rumit. Dan What Is Love yang kedengaran di sengaja oleh mereka, memasukkan unsure-unsur musik pop ala Hanson atau The Moffats.

Atau kalian lagi pdkt dengan seorang pujaan hati? Cobalah mengutip dari lagu mereka If You Fall Asleep yang sentimentil sekali. Yang harus di perhatikan di seluruh track adalah kecerdikan mereka di dalam me-maintain musik mereka yang ga kelewat batas become a real “bunchy” pop. After all untuk saat ini mungkin mereka lagi menghibur yang lebih di tujukan untuk pendengar yang bijak di scene di sono yang pesat kemajuannya. My recommendation, Leave Your Fall Out Boy Or Panic At The Disco’s Stuff , and Grab Them For A While.

Its great to see their comeback! that’s the words appear in my mind when I saw their new release on 2008, precisely, their 3rd album. So much change in the album Sweet Attention. Especially in the layer section an material that came in this album. A boy band with emo pop touch? Nope, they did a new formula on the scene through. Don’t imagine that you will hear kind of song like Poison Like Your Own, The Silhouettes or Liars & Battlelines from the album The Goodnight Moon, that still thick with emo mixed with acoustic nuance that beautiful. But, they still deserve thumbs up with their use of vintage guitar part melody, that is always on their releases before. Listen to Vampire Vegas, so Tahiti 80-ish, but with recognized part, complex. And What is Love seems they put substances of pop music like Hanson or The Moffats, intentionally.

Some of you are woo at a girl of your dream? Try to quote from their song Asleep With You, that very sentimental. Overall tracks, they are very smart to maintain their music, not over the limit become a real “bunchy” pop. My recommendation Leave Your Fall Out Boy Or Panic At The Disco’s Stuff, and Grab Them For A While.
