After the Tragedy - The Beautiful Brand New
- After the Tragedy may be a band from a small town in Arkansas, but the sound is big. The new album called, “The Beautiful Brand New,” is everything from punk to rock, but far from pop. Those who love the likes of Papa Roach and P.O.D. will agree that people who enjoy listening to Pete Yorn will not be able to handle the aggressive, yet poetic style of After the Tragedy.
The lead singer sounds like Brandon Boyd, but not as relaxed. Most of the tracks on “The Beautiful Brand New” have brief interruptions of screaming, which seems to be unnecessary. As far as lyrics go, the general theme of this album is dealing with broken hearts, broken dreams, and then moving on. The song “Selby’s Escape” sums it up the best: “Let’s leave it all behind, we'll drive 'til morning light breaks through this never ending summer night.”
This 10 track cd is worth listening to, especially if you feel like punching a wall.
