Album Review
This is not to say that "Audible Diaries"
is not a
good record, rather that it so often threatens, teasingly,
to be a whole lot more than it actually ends up being.
The Broadcast are at their best when they lose their
inhibitions, rock out and allow their influences to gush
out. "Searching For Purpose"
and
"Seventeen" is the creative highpoint of the
album. Lead singer J.R. Denson really sounds at home
on the ballad "Take Me Away." He sings "Wherever I go,
no matter how far, I turn around and there you" pretty
convincingly if you ask me. Mostly,
it pumps and moves along at such a rate that there's little
time to focus on the shortcomings of individual tracks.
There isn't really a sour track on the whole album.
"Carousel" is kind of bland, but none the less
I still enjoy it. On the album as whole I just with they
could have taken a few more risks. And I wish they
would have explored their emo tendencies a little more.
Hopefully on their next release they will stop sounding like
other bands and take on a sound they can call their own.
