American alt-rock band AwolNation released this in 2011 and it went platinum in 2016. Fast paced and hard hitting with a great great mix of real and electronic instruments combined with Aaron Bruno's vocals make this a bit tricky to bracket. It's Not that I care one jot! Theres some one truly great music here that's been well thought out and produced. Soul Wars kicks it all off - pulling no punches and giving you a good idea of what you're in for! This is followed by People - bit more of the same. Jump on my Shoulders is a personal favourite as is Sail,All I need and Knights of Shame(which shows a mellower side to the band). Theres a deluxe version of this album as well and some of their live recordings are excellent also. I find this benefits from a bit volume too! Enjoy.

Thanks Chris
This is a superb album, with some silly bass, an easy 10/10 for me.

I was trying to remember the film I saw when I first heard Sail. It was Disconnect from 2013.

Listening to this a lot recently.
It grows better with continued plays.
Will be checking out and likely buying more AwolNation

Will be checking out and likely buying more AwolNation This is their first album, and they have done a second, but IMHO it is not anywhere near as good. They seem to have tried to go a bit more commercial which has spoiled it. |
