Plain White T’s – Every Second Counts

Plain White T's - Every Second Counts

Artist: The Plain White T’s
Album: Every Second Counts
Label: Fearless
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: September 12, 2006

Overall: 8.5
Music: 9.0
Lyrics: 5.5
Production: 9.5

Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢ve been a fan of the Plain White Tâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s since their release of Stop in 2002. I was drawn to their upbeat songs and catchy melodies (Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢ve always thought of them as a less standard-pop-punk version of Punchline). I must say, Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢m wholly impressed by the Plain White Tâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s latest release, Every Second Counts. The guys display amazing depth of sound. The album opens with a standard pop-punk power chords, but quickly ventures into new territory. While I find the lyrics on Every Second Counts to be generally trite (notably so on the single â┚¬Ã…”Hate [I Really Donâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t like You]â┚¬?), Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢m still pleased with the great production in every other regard. This is an album that you can play through a whole time without getting bored of the same sound. Further, I can already tell by the diversity of songs and styles that this album will be in my rotation for a long time to come. Take a listen; even if you come out with just a song or two that you find enjoyable, Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢m convinced that there is something for everyone (or at least all DFO readers) on this disc.

On this fall’s Nintendo Fusion Tour, the T’s are on the road to blowing up with this release.

Tracklisting:
1. Our Time Now
2. Come Back To Me
3. Hate (I Really Don’t Like You)
4. You And Me
5. Friends Don’t Let Friends Dial Drunk
6. Making A Memory
7. So Damn Clever
8. Tearin’ Us Apart
9. Write You A Song
10. Gimme A Chance
11. Figure It Out
12. Let Me Take You There
