Well, All Time Low has certainly made a name for themselves since there debut album, the party scene. When i first heard of All time low was when they released the part scene and when listened to it, i was quite dissapointed, but then i looked up info of the band and saw that these guys were actually teenagers at the time and what they pulled off was great!So now years later they release Dirty work and the band is growing up to be the future of pop punk.Anyway let me dive into it.
The first track, "Do you want me(dead)", is a good introduction to wha the album is all about. setting the stage for dancable beable beats and catchy lyrics. Next is one of the stand out tracks on the LP, "I feel like dancing",playfull song and will get you dancing around the room.
Next on the list is "forget about it" and "Guts" which are good and catchy songs and you can see the effort put into the songs. then we reach "time-Bomb" one of the songs that i dislike on this album. Its sounds too radio friendly and sounds like a song that one direction or the wanted could have wrote which doesnt suit ATL in my opinion, i dont know what they were thinking adding this song on the alum.
Another low point concerning Dirty work is the song "Just the way im not" its average and can be a little annoying the lyrics does not make sence at all. And the same goes for the song "under a paper moon". the first time i heard "under a paper moon", at the end of the track, Alex actually gives an post-harcore effect to the song which is good to see the and being more aggresive for a change.
"Daydream away" is ballad which is good to hear since Nothing Personal and returning to there routes from their So wrong its right days concerning "remembering sunday". the rest of the album is totally average and to me which seems all like filler tracks such as "Heroes" and "my only one"
By concluding, the album is not the best album written by ATL neither is it the worst, but what impression they do give is that they are maturing and the track "no idea" is a perfect example. the album is fresh and not too generic like previouse albums. This album will also be hated on, but ATL fans like myself will be pleased. Also the album will atract new fans, epecailly withthe mid-tempo tracks.
I am still trying to grow some of ATL music on my girl...Aafiyah Joubert! I think its kinda working lol |
