Midtown - Forget What You Know
Review by Meesh
Midtown release their third full length album "Forget What You Know" on
their new home "Sony", the album has been produced by musical god
"Butch
Walker" - who has his own new album "Letters" coming out soon... it's
beyond me how he finds time to pee inbetween producing, writing, playing
etc... anyway, where was I?
Midtown's new album, is good... actually better than good - although it
seems that Midtown have moved away slighty from the sound of their last
album "Living Well Is The Best Revenge" there's still hints of the
poppy
punk Midtown on the album, the album showcases a more adult sounding
band... musically they sound tighter than they've ever sounded before
and its seems Butch has gotten everything out of them that he could,
which could only be a good thing.
While the album isnt the most original thing ever, especially the track
"As Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb" sounding much like "Goodbye Sky
Harbour" from Jimmy Eat World's "Clarity" album.... but then again, who
cares if Midtown are original or not, this is a great album that I'm
sure their very proud of and rightly so to!
