Turn Off The Stars – Turn Off the Stars

October 18, 2006 By Tyler Hayes Leave a Comment

Turn Off The Stars Self Titled

Artist: Turn Off The Stars
Album: Turn Off The Stars
Label: Credential Recordings
Purchase: Tower Records
Release Date: August 15, 2006

Overall: 9.0
Music: 9.0
Lyrics: 9.5
Production: 9.0

With the accessibility that even your parents could get into enjoy. Combined with the ability to add depth and passion to every track, â┚¬Ã‹Å“Turn Off the Starsâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢ has what it takes to compete in the flooded alt rock genre.

The vocals are probably what stand out the most on this record. The singer has a voice which is so familiar yet has a distinction all of its own. Songs like â┚¬Ã…”If Onlyâ┚¬? and â┚¬Ã…”Pleaseâ┚¬? show off the range he is capable of and itâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s impressive.

The best way to describe the music on the self titled CD would be passionate, which fits the vocal style perfectly. The music is very dynamic, usually soft and low key in the verses while strong and intense in the choruses.

While not many, there are a few tracks on the album that do drag a bit. This band and the record have a possibility of coming across a little bit bland. This is a disc that has taken me, as it will probably take a lot people several listens before they fully enjoy all this record has to offer. If youâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢re tired of the same music in your collection hereâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s a band that deserves some of your time, go check the new record â┚¬Ã…”Turn Off The Starsâ┚¬?

Tracklisting

1. I wasnâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t ready
2. Please
3. Falling Into You
4. Hours & Days
5. 30 Days
6. Getaway
7. Nowhere Skies
8. Lately
9. Usual to me
10. If Only
11. Brightside
