Title tracks of albums are done over and over again, but how many times have you heard a song with the title of the band in it? Not nearly as often. If it's done, then you want to make sure it represents in the band in a positive light. The song starts out with some cowbell, and great instrumentals throughout. What a great representation of this band the song makes, just a fun song to listen to, and great guitar work. "Dream City" has this nice beat to it, and makes on want to sing along, at the end there is a nice little saxophone; awesome!! "Bang Pop" is another song that has a great beat and some good instrumentals. I love the lyrics "Completely crystallized/Cherry lips and long hair/With a pair of sunset eyes/ She's from a weird world/A mistake in Earth descent/Neon lips like a rainbow kid/She's poppin gum in the basement." Do you think its about a woman from another world or feels like it? "All I Know" is that this song has a great beat and some nice instrumentals, and maybe that i'm getting lazy? "Bad Stuff" has nothing bad about it! It has a little dual guitar interplay or is it light strings, I think it is the former. It has a nice pace kept by the beat, and the lyrics may be a little repetitive, but when the last ditch effort to communicate is not working, the message has to be retransmitted and submitted several times. I think this is the longest song at 5:44 and ends with a minute of music sans vocals. Listening to "Dark Trance," I realize that the vocalist almost sounds like Julian Casablancas, especially in this song, and that this song sounds like one that they would have written for "Is This It?" or "Room on Fire." There is nice dual guitarplay at the end, the whole song is good, but it almost is as long as the previous at 5:17. "Young Hearts" has a nice steady beat and line of guitar which may have you dancing, or at least bobbing your head, and gives off positive vibes. I like how" Light Love" starts in the lyrics department:"Light Love/ Don't everybody want that love?/ And it's hard sometimes/ 'Cause everybody's uptight love/ Well, you'll find that out." "Hope Child" has some nice lyrics as well, just thought I would add some for a nice change of pace: "Hope child/Give it some time/You're wonderin why/ Well, how much do you want?/ How much will you give?" The final song is called "Wild Winds" which has some nice horns and a good beat, and maybe some sax thrown in there too? This song is the longest at 6:26 and ends with some nice group vocals and instrumentals. Best Songs: Free Energy, Dream City, Bang Pop, Bad Stuff, Light Love, Hope Child, Wild Winds.
