Title: Huge Improvement In Their Sophomore Album
Review: I was a fan of From Here On In.I played the record many times, and I do enjoy it. However, it's hard to deny that at times the songs didn't get lost and a bit flattened out by the production so that they'd blend a bit too much into one another.This time, the production is much lighter and the band is able to shine a bit more. South are able to create a beautiful wall of sound and it gives the album a feeling of being drenched in a sort of hopeful melancholy.The album has a bit harder-edged sound. It's just enough to punctuate certain moments and let the songs really shine. The songwriting is greatly improved, and you'll be humming along in no time.Personal favorites are Motiveless Crime and Loosen Your Hold.
