Kentucky's Angry Planet released One Day He Could Save The World last October. An album full of potential radio hits, if this is any indication of their live shows, you need to see these guys.
Starting out stong, there's pure, raw energy in the vocals is the first thing I noticed in "[-----]"
"As Good As It Gets" has an uplifting, albeit cocky as hell, feel to it, as it proclaims, "I'm sorry I'm as good as it gets (but I am)".
"Someone, Somewhere" is a sweet alt-rock power ballad.
"For Jennifer" is a bit softer, with some piano to accompany a beautiful and sweet love song.
"The Storm" kicks the energy back up, with a catchy tune that feels like it came straight out of the '95-'05 era.
"A Memory" is a quieter song, more stripped down with just a guitar and some soft vocals.
"WhenWarComes" is another high-energy song. To be honest, I couldn't understand most of the lyrics on this one, but I still loved the instrumentals.
"All Our Lives (Underground)" is a headbanging song that takes me back to the early 2000s.
"Faith" has some more of those powerful vocals, with some lyrics of longing. Another great power ballad.
"The Love Song" brings back the piano for another softer tune, with more of those powerful vocals. A great combination that really expresses the emotions here.
"White" is upbeat and catchy, with a nice hook and lots of instrumentals.
"Time" is a bunch of ambient noises.
"Nothing To Write Home About" is another high-energy song, with a changing, but catchy, hook. It's a great end to a solid debut album that is sure to become a classic. I can't wait to see what's in store for this band, as any of these songs could easily be big radio hits. Angry Planet has a very strong sound, that makes me reminiscent of late 90s/early 2000s alternative rock classics.
