So They Say – “Life in Surveillance”

Only two songs in and I’m already loving the catchy harmonies. So this group and record aren’t going to be a huge commercial success, but sometimes it’s better to win the smaller victories. And in this case, the fans are the ones to benefit the most.

Most bands suffer from the notable sophomore slump, but every good record is made with past experiences and I think the guys from So They Say are testing the waters, pushing boundaries and are off to a good start with this record and producer Matt Hyde. The whole album is a consistent effort, an effort that shouldn’t be heavily criticized for a band that’s new to the game. You can see a growth and maturity shine through the record and after a few listens you start to get it.

A catchy and melodic effort, So They Say are on their way to making some great music, as long as they can withstand the ever-changing musical trends, line-up changes and staying true to themselves and their fans. Past fans will admire their growth and slight change in direction, new fans will find them interesting and what their new line up will bring in their forthcoming album will hopefully only continue to improve.  [ END ]
