The Working Title – About Face

November 1, 2006 By Reema Desai 3 Comments

Artist: The Working Title
Album: About Face
Label: Universal
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: July 18, 2006

Overall: 7.8
Music: 7.5
Lyrics: 8.5
Production: 9.0

The name “The Working Title” comes from the band’s wish to continue to evolve and progress as musicians. They held true to their namesake and progressed significantly from their last record. About Face is the world’s first taste of a full length Working Title album. Previously, the band had only a seven song EP entitled “Everyone Here Is Wrong” and while it was well received by critics and fans alike, it left listeners hungry for more. This time around, the band has chosen a more polished sound on their LP, and even went as far as reworking and perfecting three of the songs featured on their EP.

The best part about this record is easily the vocals as there is something incredibly emotional and touching about Joel Hamilton’s voice. He delivers honest and direct lyrics with the utmost sincerity. There are standout tracks like “Crash” which pulls you in within the first few seconds and the exceedingly emotional and epic “Turbulence” which encloses the album dramatically with the lyric “You have to be careful with my heart”?. With that being said, there are times when the record felt repetitive. There are parts on the album where some of the songs seem to drag along and blend together. By no means is About Face a bad record, but more diversity in the songs could have taken it from good to great.
