iTunes Review
The Spill Canvas' Realities EP is only five songs long and void of ballads, but every tune plays with a buoyancy perfect for a soundtrack to accompany getting ready for school or work. "Our Song" cleverly contrasts uptempo rhythms and sunny melodies with lyrics that surrender to the realities of a relationship where romantic ideals have been dissolved by predictability. The acoustic based "Dust Storm" boasts cool instrumentation like castanets, organ and a string section that helps keep things sounding endearingly melodramatic. "Let Go" injects the band's emo-based sound with some tinges of ‘80s new wave like a quirky keyboard, backing singers and even a simplistic rap. A glockenspiel and horn section add depth to "10,000 Midnights" while playfully plucked strings add a fantastical Disneyesque element to the tune. Easily the catchiest number here, "Crash Course" has the band getting in touch with their inner Weezer, with sharpened power-pop hooks and Thomas' shaky Conor Oberst-inspired inflections keeping things emo.
Customer Reviews
If you wanted One Fell Swoop, go buy it again ...
I hate when people say bands have 'given up their style'. Do you dress and act the same way you did ten years ago? If not, can I say you've 'sold out and butchered your style'? People grow and so do bands. I think this is an excellent EP that showcases where the guys are at, at this point in time. Obviously they'll lose some followers, just like you lose friends as you mature. But they'll also make a ton of new fans in the process.
Either appreciate the album for what it is or go put One Fell Swoop on repeat and let these guys do what they want to do.
Great album, guys. You rock.
What happened?
So as many of you were probably very excited about this newest release, as I was, I will warn you against it. If you like the Spill Canvas for what they used to be, (poetic verses, fantastic chorus's, and stellar melodies), you will most likely be very upset by the newest release. It is very mainstream, and I won't go off on a tangent saying that they sold out, but they have lost a lot of the rawness and the deepness of all of their writing. Compared to their older material, this album is very mundane, and average. All in all I am quite dissappointed in this newest release, and I hope when their next full length is released, it has a lot more emotion into it.
Awesome
TSC still rocks!!! A bit different than their norm, but still awesome.
