Negative Positive
Title: Ender will save us all...
Review: It's hard to maintain a professional distance from an album that is able to, so easily, get under the skin and speak straight to a broken heart. Chris Carrabba's acoustic guitar, which can be gentle or brutal, is now tempered, in this second album, by drums and bass. His lyrics connect with the angst-ridden 16 year-old inside us all, regardless of age, and gives the words a universality. Whether they are expressing the anguish of break-up, betrayal, (im)possible reconciliation, or separation, the lyrics always cut straight to the core. His music has developed a great deal since his first solo effort, the Drowning Man EP on Fiddler Records, into a fuller, more complete sound that loses not one jot of its emotion. What else can I say? Buy this album.
