Album Review: Blue October - Foiled

In order to kill some time until the highly anticipated release of Blue Octobers new cd titled "Approaching Normal" is released on March 24 2009 I figured now would be a great time to whip out an old review I have done for their last cd "Foiled" which I originally did on my old Multiply site.



Band: Blue October
Album: Foiled
Year: 2006
Genre: Alternative Rock/Emo
Rating:

Foiled is the single best CD of 2006 so far in my opinion! It will also be damned hard to beat for CD of the year just because it's so damned amazing! Everything about this CD is perfect from the lyrics to the music and how the band just jives with one another in perfect harmony. They have been around for a while and they keep building on their talent and learn from what little mistakes they have made so far in their career. I usually like to compare a band I review to another that you may know better but in this case I'm actually at a loss of who I can compare Blue October to and I take that as a good thing because these amazing talented band of guys are in a league of their own when it comes to music!

Every song on this CD is perfect or near perfect from the lyrics to the music and how it's all put together! Now most of you will know the song "Hate Me" their first single from the CD that has been getting a lot of air & video play and it rightfully should being a great & powerful song but there are other songs just as good if not better like the very powerful song "Let It Go" and the moving song "Congratulations (featuring Imogen Heap)" to the very fun song "Overweight" and singable song "Into The Ocean". This is the perfect package and no one will go wrong going out to buy this CD!
