The sudden break where it cuts to very somber vocals and acoustic guitar adds valuable intrigue and interest. Can somebody tell if each song is about the same relationship? Because if so, they need a hug. The drums are still boring, though.Ī break from the formula! We’re utilising the whole band from the beginning. The guitar solo is also worth commending. I’m also a sucker for a chanting/singing chorus part to any song.
This song isn’t as punchy as the others, rather opting for a melodic vibe, which is a much-needed change. Although the addition of the piano in the chorus adds something different to this song. The ending of the song makes a much-needed change where it quietens down to just the vocals and an acoustic guitar – this adds a different dimension to the emotion of the song that makes it much more complete. The guitar solo in the bridge rectifies this but still, as a drummer, I can’t ignore how boring that part is.Īt this point, it becomes clear that the songs in this album have a certain formula where the vocals and an instrument are isolated until the first chorus begins and all the instruments are playing together. I can’t help but think the drum parts in this song (and others) is a tad boring and uncreative.
The addition of the strings in the second verse adds much-needed flavour. The bridge going into the last section of the song is maybe my favourite part (second to the opening) just because of how simple the chant is and how raw it sounds. I find the melody quite catchy, and I’m no stranger to singing along to it when I’m in the car. The vocals accompanied by the simple piano chord progression sets the tone for the album that shifts to the more punchy part when the drums and guitars kick in. Their sophomore self-titled album seems to make several appearances amongst my playlists, so I thought I’d sit down and listen to it in its entirety to see what I think of it now with valid reasons to feel angsty. Mayday Parade is a Floridian band well known for their emotional and heartfelt music. I couldn’t tell you why since I thought I’d left behind my edgy angst phase back in 2014, but it seems as though some things never change. My Spotify Wrapped and last.fm listening report has revealed something about me I didn’t realise before: I listen to a lot of Mayday Parade.
