On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year on the 25th August 2017. Which is The War On Drugs fourth studio album called "A Deeper Understanding"
The War On Drugs are an Indie rock band from Philadelphia who has been in the music scene since 2005 but they have released their first album in 2008. The band has released 4 albums which are "Wagonwheel Blue", "Slave Ambient", "Lost In The Dream", which is my favourite album from them. and lastly the new one which was released this year "A Deeper Understanding". I have never really been a big fan of them but I do like a couple of tracks and albums from them. I think they are a fantastic band, Adam Granduciel vocals is really interesting as he sounds a bit like Bob Dylan. It is really fascinating as all of the albums that the band has released Adam definitely sounds a bit like Bob Dylan. Discussing more about the band new album when I heard this album I thought to myself this is an alright album it might not be better than "Lost In The Dream" but it is still a good album. The album has some fantastic tracks and some decent ones. The vocals on some tracks are good and some which is still good but with an alright production. Their were a couple of tracks that I thought was just too long and I feel like that they should have at least shorten bit of the track.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Holding On", "Knocked Down", "In Chains", and "You Dont Have To Go". Starting of with a track called "Holding On". Which is a fantastic track it sounds a bit of 90s rock on what was going on at the time. But overall this is a fantastic track the vocals definitely go well with the production. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "Knocked Down". Which in my opinion was a calmful piano melody track, I love how it has a bit of 70s rock influenced on this track. My other favourite track was a track called "In Chains". Which in this track was quite interesting production it sounds bit like synth pop I really enjoyed this track more than the others. Lastly my last favourite track was a track called "You Dont Have To Go". Which was a good ending track for the album great production and vocals once again. Moving on to my least favourite track was a track called "Thinking Of A Place". It is still a good track but I just did not enjoy it that much.
Overall I thought this album was okay despite it is not better than "Lost In The Dream". I would listen to it again. Overall it is a 6/10
