Great CD From a Band That's Come a Long Way
Kale Vendargo | Alexandria, MN USA | 02/27/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's no secret that I've been looking forward to Children 18:3's major(ish) label debut for quite a while (basically since 2006, when they shockingly broke into my top 10 albums of the year). I eagerly listened to the new versions of LCM and You Know We're All So Fond of Dying, and liked what I was hearing, but I already knew that these were good songs, and while Songs of Desperation was good, it was pretty front-loaded, and my favorite 3 songs off of the CD were coming back. I began to worry that the band had already run out of gas.



No worries.



Having been familiar with a bit of their earlier work, it's no shock that the riffs are pummeling, or that the instruments are all played fantastically. It does, however, come as a pleasant surprise how tuneful the album is. As I said a while ago, they clean up nicely. David actually has a pretty decent voice when he puts his mind to it, and the male/female vocal play between him and LeeMarie is done as well as any act I can remember. It never feels like a gimmick, and they both really stepped up their game for these recordings.



The mish-mash of genres (including garage rock, punk, straight up rock, and even ska) never comes across as forced, and there really aren't any weak tracks. If this sounds a touch fanboyish, keep in mind that 3 years ago, I disliked this band enough to sell an old EP I had bought to my brother. They've come a long way as songwriters since then, and it really shows here.



Children 18:3 have put together one of the most consistantly engaging CDs in recent memory. It's not often that a CD like this comes along. Check into this album immediately. You won't regret it.

"I love this cd. Smart lyrics, hard driving catchy punk tunes, with great brother and sister vocal combo."
