#28: Senses Fail - Still Searching
Actually back track. I was handed the first actual cd "Let It Enfold You" by my girlfriend at the time back in 2004. I liked it and from there I picked up their older EP "From The Depths of Dreams." I found myself getting into a heavy sound that I wasn't into before then. If you remember the Underoath post, sometimes you just gotta get the energy out.
Let's go back to talking about live. I saw these guys at Warped Tour 2005, Taste of Chaos 2006 and Warped Tour 2009. They don't have a crazy mind-inducing type show like a Muse or Coldplay, but they just flat out rock it. The drums are fast and loud and the guitars keep everything going.
I think something else I like about the lead singer is that he actually isn't the greatest there is. His imperfect voice kind of makes the band more appealing.
At one point, I wouldn't have even listed "Still Searching" as one of my favorite cds, let alone in my top 30. But one day I realized it was when my friend put it in and I knew every piece of every song.
I love it because the energy keeps going, but it even has a soft breakdown toward the end. However, it's not a ballad type thing, it's just the music slows down and it really works.
But I will be honest. I don't mean to sound cliche, but this cd speaks to me. Once I started actually listening to it, I realized he was talking about some pretty real stuff. I don't want to go too much into it on this post because I'm just not sure how much I want to discuss but the theme of the cd I can definitely relate to, especially what he is referring to in the sense of "searching."
So I don't expect to get a lot of plays, but here are my favorite tracks from this release:
And from one of my other favorites, "Let it Enfold You"
Oh yea, the guys are pretty cool too:
