The first song on this album is probably my favorite out of the 7 songs on this, mainly because it shows their post-hardcore/pop roots. This band is really good, I've never really been a fan of pop bands but listening to this made me a fan of pop. Lakeview shows mixtures of genres in almost every song they have which is pretty cool because you can point out the genres and the mixtures. Three songs that really stand out, This City Won't Be The Same Without You, Waterfalls, Chasing Dreams Without Sleep, you can say they bring out the element mixtures. This is the first release from Lakeview. I’d love to see these guys live and hear the mixtures in person this is one band that’s going to blow up in their future hopefully. I think the post-hardcore element stick out in every song you can clearly hear it and understand it. The lyrics are pretty catchy/great something I really enjoy is good lyrics with a good sound, a matching sound something that’ll show the feelings/emotion that go with the lyrics. This band is seriously talented, if I don’t see them get bigger than they are now I have no idea what’s wrong with the music industry. The screams on this album are just perfect.
Breakdown:
Cleans: The clean vocalists style can fit both genres they're trying for, Post-hardcore/pop his vocals just fit both of them
Screams: The screamer is just he fits so well with this band's post-hardcore sound, i love his vocals seriously i couldn't think of a different vocal style to fit this bands sound.
Instruments: Many instrument changes it sounds pop a few times than post-hardcore then pop, mixture of genres in their sounds really good additions. I love the mixture of soft to hard also. Oh and can't forget the mini guitar solos!
