Negative Positive
Title: Very good album
Review: Formerly known as Something Like Silas, Future of Forestry has crafted an excellent album. Lead singer Eric Owyoung classical orchestration and conducting in college, and this is evident in the songs. Some of the standout tracks include "Open Wide", "All I Want", and "Sunrising". U2 and Coldplay influences are noticeable, but the band has its own sound. They spent a lot of time adding very cool sound effects to the songs to create multi-layered soundscapes, and the results are definitely ear-pleasing. Owyoung's excellent voice sounds a bit like that of Martin Smith of Delirious on some of the slower tracks. On "If You Find Her", he shows ability to hit the high notes as well. As an aside, the 2004 album "Divine Invitation" the band made under their former name is also worth checking out. The band's new name was taken from a C.S. Lewis poem.
