intro
Excellent American sub punk pop on debut album from Melee, which fuses together the best moment of the Foo Fighters with Blink 182
Yeah!! American sub punk/pop/rock music ! This is perhaps one of the best CDs I have heard in a while. It has great melodies, strong guitarwork (fusing the Foo Fighters with Blink 182 with a whole host of bands like Dashboard Confessional) bloody good vocals and somehow manages to merge all these different elements altogether to create something altogether much greater than the sum of its parts . I can’t say much more about this record (and no that’s not me being lazy!) It is a truly amazing record, and is epic, gentle and beautiful Third track 'The War' is a good measure of the whole album but then the opening track 'Got It All' is wonderful as well. Ah!! So many good bits. Find it, buy it listen to it and love it! Or on the other hand, do the above then send me angry emails about how you hate it! I dn't mind. In my eyes this album is probably the best I have heard all year, and that’s no lie!
