Designs debut album “Only Time Will Tell” for a
post-hardcore band, this band surely does brings the aggression for the scream vocals, the
clean vocalist has that high range, but it only makes them sound a bit different
and better, the two vocalists make a great vocal team that’s for sure.
Listening to this album I have to say I was pretty impressed with that they’re
bringing into the post-hardcore music scene, the first song was highly
impressive and definitely expected to listen to. This bands overall sound is
impressive as well, as well as it is kind of catchy. A few songs that kind of
stood out on the album would have to be, Carpe Diem, I Once Dated Hatred, The
Base At The Royal, Carpe Diem was
probably the best song to have as intro
to the album and one of the best on the album when it comes to screams a few
other songs have the type of scream on Carpe Diem, but near the middle the
screamer does something that I’d have to say is new to me, and I wasn't
expecting it at all but it made the song seem a bit interesting and could
benefit them, he did kind of a rap style scream, not really rapping just really
fast type of scream. The breakdowns in some of the songs are impressive to
their overall sound is impressive and could land them a great deal in their
careers. I’d like to see where this band goes in their careers.
Breakdown:
Cleans: Design’s clean vocalist’s range is kind of high, but it seems a lot of post hardcore bands have this type of a range, but everyone has a
different voice this just makes the range different for every band that does
this which Designs clean vocalist has a style that is interesting to listen to.
Screams: The screamer definitely has a different type of
screams which is pretty cool he does this type of screams in some of the songs
where his screams are sped up and kind of sound sort of like a rappers voice
just in screaming form.
Instruments: For the most part the songs are pretty heavy,
some may differ with their heaviness and go into the soft, but who doesn't like
diversity in their music? It does the band really good too and makes the
listener more into the music the drumming is something that really caught my
attention though.
