Despite the band who made this record being named Dead Leaves, Vulture is most certainly a grower. Terrible puns aside, this album, done in a decidedly conservative Midwest emo style, is quite subtle in that the melodies and arrangements don't necessarily seem like much at first, but betray their goodness in subsequent listens. For instance, songs like "Talk Me Down" or "Die Young" have really nice guitar refrains that you don't really catch on the first listen because you're more or less entirely focused on the vocalist and what he's saying. Once you do hear these solid and even heartwarming melodies, they fit the sentimental and nostalgic lyrical content like a glove. What hurts things is the production is somewhat flat, and doesn't give any more life to the compositions or vocals than they already have. That said, they have a good enough amount to last a half-hour, so things remain in good quality throughout. Cleveland is the reason I'm leanin.
