At the moment this would be tying for my second favourite Dear Hunter album, though sometimes it's my favourite. It was the first one I ever listened to though, after falling in love with a cover of the track Smiling Swine by Bear Ghost.
At points prog, at points Hadestown, at points rock, just a wonderful collection of ways to hear Casey's voice (which remains the biggest draw to me for Dear Hunter albums).
I flip backwards and forwards between which Dear Hunter album is my favourite, but Act IV is always in the running. It's such a varied album, with beautiful vocals, varying genres and a great story to tell.
Rated 6/10
I am a bit indifferent to Kings of Leon. I like them fine enough, but they just don't grab me like some similar bands do. It's perfectly acceptable, but as soon as it's done I have no real eagerness to listen to it again.
I do really like the breakdown part of Be Somebody though.
A perfectly respectable:
3/5
Rated 6/10
First few songs, I'm thinking "I really like this, it's definitely on for a 4, maybe even a 5!". I'm hearing bits that remind me of lots of bands I love (Terrorvision, REM, Soul Asylum etc) and all is going well.
But it just carried on... and on.... and on....
It was two similar over too long a period of time. I think a shorter version of this album is a better score from me, but being over an hour long really highlights it's similarities from track to track. I still like it, don't get me wrong, but I don't love it.
3/5
Rated 2/10
God I found this boring. I kept tuning out and thinking about the food shopping for tonight, what I needed to get done when I arrived at work, what was going to happen in the US midterm elections (and I don't even live there and am not American). Basically anything other than listening to his schmaltzy warbling.
This is just fundamentally not my kinda music. Maxwell might be the greatest neo-soul artist in history and I'd struggle to stay engaged. I think the worst point was when Till The Cops Come Knocking stopped, and then started again DESPITE ALREADY BEING SIX MINUTES LONG! He was heading for a grudging 2 before that became the final nail in the coffin.
1/5
