This was a release I had been looking forward to since I stumbled across the bands myspace page and listened to the old EP. I ran into 2 member of Take Cover on warped playing with the very talented You, Me, And Everyone We Know. They gave me a copy of The Last Word and told me to have fun. Haha well a month later I actually got to listen to the damn thing. Here is how it stacks up.
The album musically is pop-punk and rock. Personally I think these guys remind me of early Brand New, Your Favorite Weapon days. Lyrically the album is absolutely perfect. Catchy chorus's but this isn't the happy go go cookie cutter pop-punk. The lyrics are actually filled with rough times, I went through a nasty break-up recently and this album is just what I need musically. Lyrically its one of the catchiest, and easiest to listen to releases i've heard in years. Not to mention the songs don't get old, they have meaning, passion, and will stay with you for a long time to come. Only 4 tracks long it is a short burst showcasing what the band will have to offer with a full length. There is not a bad song on the CD giving this album a 5/5 and a must buy if your a music lover, of if you just want a new favorite CD to sing it along to. I can promise you, that you wont be disappointed. Need more reason to get this album? Take a look at the teaser below,
Thanks for reading,
Codie.
