Oh shit. Am I going soft? Do I feel like crying on someone’s shoulder? What’s going on? Why do I like Makeout Party’s album? This is emo music for god’s sake! Or could it be simply because these dudes wrote a bunch of highly inoffensive yet very melodic and oh so catchy songs?
Makeout Party doesn’t want to be tough or aggressive (which is next to impossible to start with when your band is called Makeout Party). Instead they are happy cranking out jangly pop songs that take me back to early Jimmy Eat World or The Promise Ring.
Not convinced yet that this is a great album just because I say it is? Shame on you but okay… just check out the title track which starts out with Cirignano’s vocals over an acoustic guitar before whipping up an electrical storm complete with a beautiful vocal harmony.
Crappy emo bands take note… despite the fact that Makeout Party seems to fit in with the rest of you when it comes to band names, they will kick your ass with their songs!
Score: 8 out of 10
