Album Review

The New Amsterdams' album Para Toda Vida picks up pretty much where their debut left off. The few differences include the fact that the band is much slimmer. In fact, it's pretty much just Matthew Pryor (the Get Up Kids). He performs ten songs in under 30 minutes on this album, including Tijuana Crime Scene and Kill Creek covers. Much of the material here is reminiscent of the first album with heartfelt, tender vocals, similar to an acoustic Get Up Kids album. If one enjoys the Get Up Kids, and especially those songs of theirs when they are mellower and/or acoustic, then this will truly be a delight. Fans of the first album will probably like this one, although much of the punch seems to be missing that was associated with the full-band sound of the debut. Not horribly deficient, yet not as powerful as it has the potential to be.

Customer Reviews

and for me too!

Yeah, this album kicks A**! Seriously Matt just keeps getting better. TGUK & the New Ams. are the best for setting any mood. My Old Man Had a Pistol is AMAZING! BUY THIS ALBUM!

I listened to this album over and over last summer and it never gets old...This is my favorite new amsterdams cd.

GREAT ALBUM

This is a wonderful album and has gone up to number 1, in my eyes, as the best record i own. (Worse for the Wear is second.) You MUST listen to the whole album though. i bought it and never REALLY listened to it. i got bored with my music so i played PARA TODA VIDA on my iPod. Now its my favorite album. Great work matt!!!

Biography

Formed: 2000 in Lawrence, KS

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '00s

Indie rock outfit the New Amsterdams were pioneered by Get Up Kids vocalist/guitarist Matthew Pryor as a side project, and his personal emotion continued to be redefined and molded upon a musical cast of energetic pop. Joining Pryor were drummer Jake Cardwell, guitarist Alex Brahl, and Get Up Kids bassist Robert Pope. Since forming the Get Up Kids in 1996, Pryor needed another outlet for his stripped melodies to sheer off the typical emo associations...
