And here's what we got:
I love Butch Walker, but I’ll try and be objective with this review. I could review many of his albums that I happen to have in my possession, but as this is the newest one out and available for free (or 6 bucks if you want to) I figured I’d try and be current and edgy and what have you.
Now there are certain artists that sound good on albums but come up short in live shows. There are other artists that rock live performances like they were born to it, but fail to translate this to their recordings (Live ones aside, obviously). Then there are artists that do both exceptionally well. This is where Butch Walker falls.
What can I say? I’m a fanboy of Abandoned Pools. No, that’s not true; I’m a fan of talent, and that’s something that Abandoned Pools has in spades. I will admit that Armed to the Teeth came out in 2005, making this review a little dated, but I feel that Abandoned Pools is a band (artist, to be more accurate) that I’ve had since it came out (please refer to my fanboy comment).
