Somehow Euphoric just hit me even more than before
Such a great song, and there's something about the lyrics that makes me absolutely love them
After listening to SI a lot within the last one or two weeks, I gave IR another listen, and although it doesn't quite come close to SI and some of the songs still seem kind of like filler to me, it's still a RAAAWK-ing album with lots of great stuff on it.
Yeah, Euphoric is a great song. I played it for my GF shortly after we met because it reminded me of how she made me feel.
Here's my take on the 2 previous releases as well as the current.
EoP is a really good album. I liked it much more than his previous releases. The sound quality could’ve been better, but the song writing and music is excellent.
When I first got SI, I didn’t like it as much as EoP, but that changed very quickly. Much better sound and it just flatout rocks. It ends in a whimper but still a very good ballad and album closer. The CD was living in my car for months. Listened to it all the time almost to the point of becoming sick of it, but not quite. I listen to it less now, but love it just as much every time.
IR is a great album. Well balanced musically as well as the sound. I like it more with every spin but it is a little less heavy than SI. That’s why SI still remains as my fav. However, the PW growls on SI were a little excessive which really isn’t a big deal to me. But, I’m glad that they decided to tone that down a bit on IR. Too much of a good thing isn’t always good.
Overall, JLB has put out some great solo stuff. Especially, with his last 3 releases since 2005. Him and all his band members deserve much credit for the quality of their craft. Keep up the good work guys. Looking forward to more music.
