With arguably one of the most memorable songs of the last few months, Owl City’s Adam Young seems to have achieved the dream of every aspiring musician. Using his bedroom in his parents basement, and uploading songs on Myspace he gathered a large following. He then exploded onto the scene with the obvious single from this album ‘Fireflies’. The song is catchy. So catchy infact that whenever another song from the album comes on, his distinctive voice makes you want to sing the chorus from the albums obvious winner.
It’s not a bad album, there are some definite good points. The albums first track Cave in is a god upbeat tune, sticking to the formula used in the rest of the album. The lyrics on a couple of tracks seem well thought out, if not a bit like the narration of a childish dream; but it is let down by a few tracks, namely ‘Dental Care’; about going to the dentist.
Overall, if you are a fan of ‘Fireflies’ then give the album a listen on spotify or youtube; but don’t commit to buying before you know that he has definitely heard the saying, “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it”. Let’s wait and see if the next single, ‘Vanilla Twilight’ will chart as high as the first single from the album.
