Favourite Tracks: The 5th Of July, House Wren, Be Brave
Least Favourite Track: Winners Never Quit
On this review I will be reviewing the new album from 'Owl City' which was released on the 1st June 2018. It's the sixth studio album from 'Owl City' called "Cinematic".
Owl City is an American electronica project which was created in 2007 in Minnesota. It's one of the several projects by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist 'Adam Young'. I am not a big fan of 'Owl City' but I have liked their albums from when they first started. I first discovered 'Owl City' back in 2009 with their chart successful single "Fireflies" which was a track I enjoyed and found 'Adam Young' production really interested. I have listened to Adam young albums from 'Owl City' since he is a one man band. I have listened and it just becomes so different along the way. It started synth pop then indietronica and now current EDM. Discussing about 'Owl City' discography they have released six studio albums, "Maybe I'm Dreaming" the debut album from 'Owl City' released back in 2008. I thought it was an alright debut album I liked it. I loved the synth pop along with the electronica mixed together. "Ocean Eyes" their second studio album, I would say my favourite album from 'Owl City'. It had the chart successful track "Fireflies" on "Ocean Eyes". "All Things Bright And Beautiful" the third album which was still synth pop but more pop rock. "The Midsummer Station" the fourth studio album not my favourite but it's decent. "Mobile Orchestra" the fifth studio album which I thought was bad and boring with EDM production to it. Not that much of synth pop. Which now brings us to the new album "Cinematic" since hearing the album what did I think of it? It's just getting worse for Owl City. The album is a mess we hear Adam Young trying to rap which I dont think he can rap. The production is EDM and pop rock it's a mixture of two that dont go well together. It's a boring album from 'Owl City' I did not enjoy it.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album. "The 5th Of July" which I thought was an alright track with alright lyrics. The production was alright. "House Wren" this track is alright production could have been better. "Be Brave" it's the overall best on the entire album I enjoyed the production on this track. "Winners Never Quit" the production was not that great. Boring track.
Overall I did not enjoy this album it's another disappointment from 'Owl City'. I would not listen to the album again.
