The Elms bring it all together for one incredible album
by relhoerblakeIf you're lucky enough to have stumbled upon the Elms at any point in your lives and have listened to this album, then you already know what I am about to say. The Great American Midrange is absolutely awesome.
I've always found The Elms to be extremely talented, and always thought that they had lots of potential. But it also seemed (to me anyway) that they were the underdogs from Indiana who were struggling a little bit to find their sound and put it all together. But, they've matured over the years and finally settled into their wonderfully unclassifiable rock n roll/pop style, and they've put it all together for us in this great album. Between catchy lyrics, memorable melodies, crunchy guitar riffs, tender moments, and rockin' dance music, this album has it all.
The two jewels of the album are certainly Back to Indiana and This is How the World will End. Back to Indiana features an great moving guitar riff and beat, and somewhat cheesy (but not in a bad way) verse lyrics. The chorus is extremely catchy, and the lyrics "even if the world is burning down I'm going back to Indiana now" just conveys an emotion most anyone could find a way to connect to. This is How the World Will end is somewhat haunting, inbetween its simple melody and chord progression, and its message is not easily forgotten.
Maybe this music just speaks to those of us who live in the great american midrange, but I would willingly stand up and defend anyone that the Elms are one of the most talented and original sounding bands out there right now. Yeah, not everyone is going to understand how cool it is to go to the county fair (I was a kid in 4H once, I remember), but their messages of hope, strength, and love is one anyone can connect with. I can't wait to see what these guys come up with next, although I will honestly be content with this album for a long time.
Enjoy! And they're great live...
Crazy Good
by The Rock CopThese guys pulled out all the punches on this record. Some serious songwriting and guitar playing throughout the entire collection. Adam Kasper (Pearl Jam, Foos, QOTSA) mixed it & Bob Ludwig (Stones, Beatles, etc) mastered it.....a REALLY great sounding album. And good to hear a band still canking out heartland rock and roll too. This is a must have record and a whole lot of fun. Enjoy!
