Neadtobreathe - daylight
Track one
0.01 - very quiet voice saying 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4
0.02 - delay driven guitar kicks in - yet another christian band with a strong U2 influence
0.06 - the drums and bass kick in -we're in for some energetic pop rock, with production so shiny you can see yourself in it.
0.20 - The vocals join the mix - and to my ears the singer sounds like a cross between the audio adrenaline guy before his voice was completely wrecked, and both phil joel and Pete Furler from the Newsboys— not quite like any one of then in particular, but it brought those guys to mind as I listened to it walking through Hagley park on the way to work.
0.50 - The chorus - a big, big chorus! with shiny overdive and keyboard synth pads
1.00 - the falsetto harmony - just like phil joel
1.15 - second verse- verse structure is 2 lines at a time with dominant vocals and delay driven background guitar, alternating with 1 line with full on overdrive
1.50 - second chorus hits
2.16 - Instruments drop back a bit, making the gently sung bridge vocal "sing out, sing out" clear and obvious
Builds, builds, builds, builds then...
2.49 - The band drops out completely, leaving just the vocals for this rendition of the chorus
2.52 - The keyboard comes in
2.54 - drum fill
2.57 - The rest of the band come back in - cue impassioned chorus and bridge repeats until song end.
That one track is enough to give you a feel for the rest of the album. Highly listenable, highly polished, highly produced, and highly clichéd upbeat Christian rock.
