Poets of the Fall-Signs of Life

Signs of Life the debut album by Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall.This album has some creative and unique tracks that will immediately draw your attention.If you are looking for a band that plays solo's,this is not for you but if you are looking for bands that bring out great melodies and rhythms in every song,then this one's for you.The album opens off with the first single from the album and the greatest hit so far "Lift".The song starts of with a catchy riff.From there its just amazing."Overboard" has an odd opening but it has a catchy chorus.The second big hit of the album "Late Goodbye" opens with a nice little acoustic note.The acoustic guitar adds a nice melody to the song.The vocals get a bit repetitive but the song is enjoyable.The track "Don't Mess with me" has some really aggressive drumming compared to the rest of the songs."Shallow" and "3 am" are the songs that i hated most in the album.They just aren't worth wasting your precious time on."Everything Fades",one of my favorite non-single tracks from the album starts off with a mellow and soft opening but goes onto become heavy."Illusion and Dream" is also a great song.Keyboards are used particularly well in this song."Sleep" is probably not the best way to close the album.It's a very slow song,something that does not settle down well with the rest of the album.

This album is a great album.All Alternative rock lovers will welcome this album with open arms.The vocals in particular make this album great.This album has the kind of tracks that makes you want to sit back and listen to them over and over again.
