Forever Now
Switchfoot · Alternative Rock
“Carpe diem kontseptsiyasi albomi shunday xavfsiz emaski, kunga ushlanish bilan taqqoslanganda ko'proq rejalashtirilayotgandek tuyuladi.”
Switchfoot, siz o'z rok ildizlaringizga triumfal qaytib keldiNgiz, bu 2011 yilidan beri har bir Switchfoot albomi haqida ishlatiladigan aniq iboradir, va Forever Now shoshilmay shakl qaytarishining xavfsiz qaytishi sifatida nomlangan. Bu to'rtta so'zda butun roastdir. Bu yillar ichida sizning eng kuchli, eng birlashtirilgan to'plamidir, gitaralar qaytib keldi va baland, va hali ham Nothing Is Sound, Hello Hurricane yoki Vice Verses ning uyqusi qotil balandliklariga etmaydi, sharhlari sizni ota-ona o'z yanada muvaffaqiyatli o'g'li bilan taqqoslaydi deb eslatadi. Konsepsiya samimiy va biroz laminatlangan: agar bugun sizning oxirgi kuningiz bo'lsa, uni qanday yashaysiz, chalg'itish, umid, jamoaviy va algoritmlar asrida insan qolish haqida meditatsiya. Wake Up, Mr. Crow va Ride or Die gimni San Diego stadioni rok-ning shirin nuqtasiga tishadilar, Natural Causes haqiqatan ham chiroyli baladadir, va Two Twins sizga blues-rok mushagi ko'rsatish imkoniyatini beradi. Siz iltimosgina qilganingizda, gurtuh hali ham radiodan plenka qilingan o'g'lan kabi ovoz chiqaradi. Muammo - raxat. Carpe diem albom teziasi sifatida ilhomlantiruvchi plakatlar hududidir. Veteranlar gitarani qayta ochish kamansi o'n yil eski va xavfsiz har qanday mehmondost sharhida og'ir ish qiladi. Siz yomon albom yaratmagabsiz. Siz tinchantiradigan narsani yaratdingiz, bu bir vaqtlarda shoshilinchi tunga o'xshagan guruh uchun uning o'z sukut tanqidi.
Yillar ichida sizning eng samarali va ishonchli rekording, o'z teri ichida aniq qulay bo'lgan goruhajon tuzilgan. Uzoq vaqt fan-ohlari uchun, bu iliq, yaxshi qurilgan qaytish, va Natural Causes baladiy instinkt hali ham saqlanib qolganini isbotlaydi.
Safe is the whole problem
“Reviews literally headline it A Safe Return to Form, praising cohesion while noting it does not reach the heights of Nothing Is Sound, Hello Hurricane or Vice Verses.”
The fix Take the risk the lyrics keep preaching. A record about living your last day to the fullest should sound less like it is playing it safe.
A well-worn comeback narrative
“The veterans return to their rock roots framing has trailed nearly every Switchfoot release for over a decade, blunting the impact of the story.”
The fix Stop selling the return and just sound new. Lean into the blues-rock of Two Twins and the edges, not the comfort zone.
