After 2 or so years of absence, Against Me! return with a new release “White Crosses”. I don't know if it needs more listening time for me to appreciate it but till now it's kind of weird and goes a bit unnoticed. On the other hand, I can assure you, like all the previous Against Me! albums, it still has this “come back and listen to me some more” feeling after the first time you listen to it.
Tom Gabel's vocals still don’t fail to give you goose bumps and make the hair on the back of your neck to stand up. The back-up vocals fall right into the right places, strategically placed and carefully chosen giving you a better feeling of every song.
More melodic than their previous albums, one could say too melodic and maybe different for the band’s past releases, Against Me! manage with the finest of lyrical content to give you a glimpse of how you’d see the world through their eyes –“Bamboo Bones”- and a browse through their current thoughts -“I Was A Teenage Anarchist”-.
A definitely need to listen to album if not for the music just for the lyrics. Nothing can beat music combined with intelligent lyrical material.
"Suffocation"
