Eclectic is the best way to describe Make Believe's new album, Shock of Being. Technically, they may be a "punk" band, but their style is different from almost anything I've heard in that genre. As an Indie band, Make Believe has the artistic freedom to make music they way they want to. Unlike most bands, Make Believe plays their music in a non-linear fashion; there's no clear beginning or end to their songs. The mood of the music on this album goes from sweet to torment, often within the same song. The album offers up some poignant lyrics delivered in unexpected packages, as in "Television Cemetery." Tim Kinsella provides strategically placed vocals, without dominating the album. Sam Zurick turns out some highly creative guitar playing. Each band member knows when to stand out, and when to step back, creating a healthy balance between them.
