This group has been A personal favorite for me for about A year & A half now, I had very high expectations for this album and they were fulfilled. From start to finish each track has it's own personality. The lyrics were written extremely well, The vocals were performed perfectly. The instrumental's really made each song standout. The few features on the album were extremely well picked and brought their tracks to A whole new level. My personal favorite tracks are Monsters (feat. Katie Sky) & Fall (feat. Fabolous). I strongly believe this album will not only make the groups current fanbase happy but will also bring foward A whole new fanbase.

My personal favorite track is "Alone In My Room", With this song the band almost has A Folk vibe to it. I honestly look forward to the future of TEAM it definately is A band to look into. Overall fans of the band will love this new project & I feel the band may get some new fans once this album is officially released.

From start to finish this album is quite incredible, Every lyrics is done justice by the awesome vocals of James Durbin. In my opinion not alot of former American Idol contestants release anything truly great after their debut album, So with this album I truly have to ad James Durbin to the list of those who did. This album is all-around greatness, Every song tells A different story however every story is followed by another. I personally feel that This album will be one of my favorites for ever. The lyrics are beautifully written, The Vocals are damn near perfection and the instrumentals are very fitting to the lyrics & follow the vocals perfectly.In the end I will say listening to this album I am truly proud to say I have been A fan of James Durbin since he was on American Idol and will continue to be A fan for the rest of my life.

Punk Goes 90's 2

                                                            Genre: Covers / Punk??
                                                            Release: April 1 2014
                                                            Label: Fearless Records

 This is the newest of the Punk Goes series, As always Fearless Records does not cease to amaze me. With this particular album I could not find a way to review each song individually. Listening to this album all the way through I realized that this is not just another "Cover Album" but more of A re-imagining album. The bands on this compilation took these songs and made them their own. A few of my personal favorites are Hands Like Houses - Torn, Asking Alexandria - Closer, Memphis May Fire - Interstate Love Song & The Color Morale - Everlong. I feel that this is an album that any music lover should really give A listen. The bands recorded these songs so well you forget they are covers. The instrumentals of each song fit the songs perfectly. All in all i feel this album is all-around incredible.
