Fake Problems - How Far Our Bodies Go

Casually, the albums reviewed here are from the current (year), but occasionally you'll find rare albums that irk your interest even though they're not the target demographic (new music).




As the album opens up, it starts with a little acoustic riff, while the raspy singing overlaps it with chorus singers in the back, after the song starts up and the entire band kicks in- you can get the feeling that they know what they're doing- and they have done this hundreds of times... but you also get the feeling while listening to it that they have small bits of themselves in the song, and all of their songs for that matter.

"Born and Raised" is an angry, catchy tune that sticks with you, and sounds very reminiscent of folk-punk, and it's possibly one of the best tracks on the album.

The more, and more you get into this record- the more it all sticks with you. It's all just catchy, but... different. It's not like anything you'll hear right now, but it's obviously the most well written stuff on any market (independent and mainstream), and it continues to impress even after first listen.

This is music for people who like music- by people who actually like music.

Final Score: 9.5 out of 10 Giraffes
