Patent Pending – Save Each Other, The Whales Are Doing Fine

June 13, 2006 By Bryce Jacobson 2 Comments

Patent Pending

Artist: Patent Pending
Album: Save Each Other, The Whales Are Doing Fine
Label: We Put Out Records
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: June 6, 2006

Overall: 7.0
Music: 7.0
Lyrics: 6.8
Production: 7.4

Pop-Punk with an extra side of fun is one way to put Patent Pending’s new album Save Each Other, The Whales Are Doing Fine. The band mixes fast crunchy guitars with fun dance along rhythms in songs like “Los Angeles” and “This Can’t Happen Again.” I swore I was listening to Punchline when “This Can’t Happen Again” came on as the vocals sound almost the same. “Decemberween” has more of a reggae style with it’s guitars and added horns. The band seems to fill in a bunch of other tracks that have either a ballad style or are filled with sappy love lyrics for the wrest of the album.

I give the band props for their do-it-yourself style and their drive to just play fun music. Pick this one up if you feel the need to dance out.

Track Listing
1. Los Angeles
2. This Can’t Happen Again
3. Decemberween
4. Lights Out In Mississippi
5. Demo For Dayna
6. Cheer Up Emo Kid
7. Old And Out Of Tune
8. Samantha The Great
9. Sleep Well My Angel
10. The Safety Of Sleeping In
11. The L-Town Shakedown
12. The June Spirit

Standout Tracks
“This Can’t Happen Again”, “Los Angeles”, “Decemberween”
