Album Review

From the very beginning of Whisper War, it becomes obvious that Las Vegas' the Cab are indebted to Panic at the Disco and Fall Out Boy, and not just because Pete Wentz and Spencer Smith are listed in the liner notes as members of the band's A&R team. Over the album's first three songs ("One of Those Nights," "Bounce," and "I'll Run), the Cab musically reference both bands, as well as Maroon 5, in enough ways that they run the risk of sounding like imitators. Some leniency is merited — their debut captures a group of musicians just barely out of high school, so it's understandable that the Cab would work with what's familiar — and Whisper War does show that they have enough talent to branch out and explore new sounds, even if they're not quite ready to do so here. The good news is that every youthful misstep, such as the overwrought lyrics on "Risky Business," is compensated for through bright, enthusiastic performances. One of the Cab's biggest strengths lies in their ability to craft catchy pop tunes, especially infectious choruses. Alex DeLeon is particularly adept at bringing these melodies to life with a voice that is sweet, clear, and plaintive. The rest of the band also shows promise, especially pianist Alex Marshall, whose subtle performance adds a layer of depth that brings excitement to songs such as "ZZZZZ." None of the songs have much space to showcase any solo work, but the bandmembers are comfortable with each other, something that makes songs like the standout "That '70s Song" sparkle. It's this ability to work as a strong ensemble that sets the Cab apart, and also what makes Whisper War a good start for the young band.

High Hopes for Whisper War

I'll start out by saying that the Cab is amazing. Anyways.. Their single One of THOSE Nights features Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy and is an insane track. It's a great song. I'd have to say my favourite tracks are One of THOSE Nights, I'll Run, Take My Hand, Zzzzz, & Vegas Skies - but the whole album is really good. I honestly can't find any weak tracks in Whisper War If you like... Maroon 5 check out I'm a Wonder & High Hopes in Velvet Ropes If you like... Fall Out Boy check out One of THOSE Nights If you like... The Higher (a lot of tracks are like them) check out I'll Run If you like... Cobra Starship's first album check out Can You Keep a Secret? If you like... Jason Mraz check out That '70s Song I'm not saying that The Cab sounds exactly like these bands, It's just a place to get whoever is reading this started. The Cab have their own, unique and amazing, sound. This album is amazing. 5 stars babbayy. These guys are gunna be huge.

Unbearably catchy..

There's a near perfect mix of pop, rock, and soul in this album. Alex has a great voice, and they're even better (if possible) live. Definitely check this band out, they're going to be big. :) I love all of the songs, but my favourites so far: Bounce, I'll Run, That 70's Song, Risky Business, Take My Hand

Don't Forget How Well I Know You...The Cab is here to stay

This is the best CD I've heard in a long time...I haven't stopped listening to it for the past couple of weeks. Here are my ratings: One of THOSE Nights 8.5/10-This was the first song I heard by them. I was blown away by this. It kind of gets old though. Bounce 9/10-Amazing. It's one of my top favorites. BOUNCE BOUNCE BABY BOUNCE BACK TO ME!!! I'll Run 8/10-Pretty good. It gets old after a while though. High Hopes In Velvet Ropes 8.5/10-Another fave. I'm in love with this song. That '70s Song 9.5/10-The guitar is amazing.The song is amazing. AMAZING! Take my hand 7.5/10-Growing on me. Risky Business-10/10 By far my fave. The beginning is great. I could listen to this song for the rest of my life. I'm A Wonder 7/10-Kind of boring. But still good, at times. Zzzz 8/10-Good. Excellent if you lie there and listen to it in silence, otherwise it just doesn't work. Vegas Skies 9/10-I didn't like it at first but now one of my faves on the CD. Can you keep a secret? 8.99999/10- Not at the same level as Vegas Skies but still great. Come on and dance with me!!! This City is Contagious 8/10-The title makes me secretly laugh. Parts are good, parts are bad. BUY THIS ALL!I LOVE IT!
