This band will also create in Europe ...

... For therefore they are just too good! The opening track "Weight of the World" is the beginning of a great album, and finds its continuation in "Say it", which is probably the new single is to "Dirt Room", which the first single ist.Ktaftvolle, dynamic songs, always accompanied by beautiful violin by Ryan Delahoussaye, but feels at home in other instruments. "Been Down" and "My Never" are again somewhat more contemplative, but nonetheless, sensitive beautiful . "Should be Loved" and "Picking up Pieces" and "Kangaroo Cry" turn out after repeated listening automatically to earwigs, and something like a children's song begins, namely "Jump Rope" is when one understands the text, via a song love and life itself.
How to describe the outstanding voice of Justin Furstenfeld? No Idea! But they take a young Peter Gabriel, and a little more dynamic in the voice, and it could go.
I have Blue October may see in Cologne, and can only recommend, times to experience this band "Live"!
"Blue Skies", with the most positive text of the album that Justin wrote for his little daughter, fits seamlessly into the Steve Lillywhite (including Peter Gabriel, U2) produced drive, as the melancholy tinge "Blue Does".
How could such a magnificent album different stop than with "The End"?
Granted, pretty hard line, but Justin says just open what he thinks of the world and that it is not always blue sky.
I can only say: BUY! BUY! BUY!

Another little tip: On the loving website blueoctoberfan.de there are some Sound, this wonderful German texts, and just about everything worth knowing about a band that deserves to be loved and known.
