Blue October "Approaching Normal"

So looking through my music collection, I ran into this album. Now I used to listen to Blue October when they came out with their Foiled album. When I got this album I think I gave it a listen or two, but somehow it got lost.

Anyways one thing I really have to say about this album is that it's probably the most positive music I've seen come out of the band. The album was inspired after the birth of the lead singers daughter (Blue)

The songs are simpler, most of them have a catchy chorus, and I will admit the lyrics are kind of lacking.

But I will say the cons outweigh the positive things about this album. Even though some of the songs are simple you can still hear the emotion that Justin puts into his songs. The amount of energy he puts it's all of it.

"Been Down" Is a great example of this, it's a every emotional song. Hits you right in the heart. "My Never" "The End" "Say it" and "Should Be Loved" Are other songs I really enjoyed from this album.

I think this is a great album. Definitely shows that Justin is getting past his demons and I know he'll be a great father to his daughter.

8.5/10
