🎸 Album Review:
The Story So Far has always been known for their raw, emotional lyrics and energetic pop-punk sound, and their latest album “I Want To Disappear” is no exception. Released in the spring of 2021, this album further solidifies the band’s position as one of the leading forces in the pop-punk scene. With 10 tracks that showcase a perfect blend of angst, vulnerability, and catchy melodies, “I Want To Disappear” is a powerful statement from the band.
The album kicks off with “All This Time,” a high-energy track that sets the tone for what’s to come. Lead vocalist Parker Cannon’s signature gritty vocals shine through as he delivers introspective and relatable lyrics about personal struggles and self-discovery. The driving drums and infectious guitar riffs create a sense of urgency that propels the listener forward.
“Watch You Go” follows with a more melodic approach, showcasing the band’s ability to balance aggression with melody. The chorus is infectious and anthemic, making it a standout track on the album. The emotional weight of the lyrics, combined with the dynamic instrumentation, creates a powerful listening experience.
“Letterman” slows things down a bit, allowing for a more introspective moment. The stripped-down arrangement puts the focus on Cannon’s emotive vocals and poignant lyrics. The vulnerability displayed in this track is truly captivating and showcases the band’s ability to connect with their audience on a deep level.
As the album progresses, tracks like “Big Blind” and “Keep You Around” showcase the band’s knack for crafting catchy hooks and memorable choruses. The guitar work is intricate and adds depth to the overall sound, creating a rich tapestry of emotions that resonate with the listener.
“You’re Still in My Way” stands out as a more experimental track, with its dreamy atmosphere and ethereal vocals. This departure from the band’s typical sound adds a refreshing twist to the album and shows their willingness to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories.
The title track, “I Want To Disappear,” serves as a fitting conclusion to the album, bringing everything full circle. The haunting vocals and melancholic lyrics leave a lasting impact, solidifying the emotional journey that the listener has taken throughout the record.
Compared to their previous albums, “I Want To Disappear” sees The Story So Far honing their craft and pushing themselves creatively. While their signature sound is still present, there is a sense of growth and maturity that shines through in this album. The band has never been afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves, and this album is a testament to that vulnerability and honesty.
Overall, “I Want To Disappear” is a powerful and cohesive album that showcases The Story So Far at the top of their game. From the anthemic choruses to the introspective lyrics, every aspect of this record is crafted with care and passion. This album is sure to resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers alike, solidifying The Story So Far’s place as one of the most important bands in the pop-punk genre.
