Echo Screen – Euphoria

November 6, 2006 By Tyler Hayes Leave a Comment

Echo Screen Euphoria

Artist: Echo Screen
Album: Euphoria
Label: Rock Out
Purchase: Smart Punk

Release Date: November 21, 2006
Overall: 6.3
Music: 7.5
Lyrics: 6.0
Production: 6.0

Echo Screenâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s debut â┚¬Ã…”Euphoriaâ┚¬? hitâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s on several good points musically and vocally while still leaving a lot to be desired. Echo Screenâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s release is one that could and probably will get lost in the mix of every other CD from bands that are trying to stand out. â┚¬Ã…”Euphoriaâ┚¬? can be summed up with, overall a good debut from a pop punk band but in the end very forgettable.

First let me say for the same old pop punk style, Echo Screen does do it very well. The ironic thing about the album is that I found myself more drawn to the slow songs than the upbeat ones. It might be because the vocals are show cased more or the melodies are stronger, Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢m not sure, but songs like â┚¬Ã…”Octoberâ┚¬? caught my ear more than the ones that felt like they were old starting line songs.

While Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢m not crazy about this release, and donâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t think itâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s breaking any new ground. I still think this is a good start for the band and is worth checking out. This band has a lot of standout qualities but there are only hints of what they are capable of on this record.

Songs to look forâ┚¬Ã‚¦ â┚¬?Octoberâ┚¬? and â┚¬Ã…”Rushmoreâ┚¬?.

Tracklisting
1. This Letter Bomb
2. Everything After Bradford
3. The Science of Stopping Time
4. Start Tomorrow
5. Gloria
6. October
7. Rushmore
8. The Five Cent Tour of the Pearly Gates Part I; Our Hopes
9. The Five Cent Tour of the Pearly Gates Part II; Our Fears
10. Submitted for the Approval of the Midnight Society

Staff Recommendations November 5th 2006

Bryce Jacobson

Weatherbox – The bands new EP is filled with indie tracks that are just an overall great listen. It brings me back the days when bands didn’t add all this electronic stuff to make their music sound better. We are streaming their new EP The Clearing all this week so be sure to take a listen.

Army of Me – Rise is the title of Army of Me’s new EP. Their sound reminders me a little bit of Jimmy Eat World, but then again it doesn’t. Its just another great indie EP and we are streaming it all this week so be sure to take a listen and pick it up this week if you like what you hear!

Michael Schneider

Matt Wertz – The new record is still in my regular rotation after having it for months. His live show is unbelievable, take any chance you have to check him out.

Tyler Hayes

Inkwell – This is a band that never fails to produce very catchy melodies in each song. There debut full length “These Stars are Monsters” is almost for sure a release that went unnoticed. If you’re looking for something new, and who isn’t, please pick this up.
