The new album has been provided with the title Approaching Normal and was taken under the leadership of Master U2 producer Steve Lillywhite. Lillywhite is probably first noticed the voice of singer Justin Furstenfeld. I can understand that very well, because Furstenfeld has a very expressive organ which gives the songs of Blue October its distinctive touch.
Musically, the band moved in the orbit of alternative rock / pop variables such as REM or Live. The twelve songs of Approaching Normal may, in addition to the great vocals to shine musically. There are beautifully fragile songs like "My Never" and pop rockers like "Should Be Loved".
The album is definitely worth to be heard. Whether you will enter in Europe the same success as in the US, I do not want to prophesy, earned about!
