The only true bad thing about “Voices” is that there are no real standout tracks. It’s also cool to see that the album is actually a whole hour long too. It would appear that Matchbook Romance went for more something of a gothic, pop-punk feel for the record, and ended with It’s nice to see that there isn’t as much of a repetitive feel on here as there was for “Stories and Alibis”. ![]() The whole sound of “Voices” is somewhat depressing. It is certainly interesting at times, but just doesn’t truly grab my attention. The middle of the song has a “pop-punk breakdown”, and is followed with the use of a violin. The song is solid, but fails to differentiate from the rest of “Voices”. ![]() The largest surprise of all is that Matchbook Romance attempted to write an epic, seven-minute song called Goody, Like Two Shoes. The two songs are a truly proper way to end “Voices”. Both are simple, but Andrew’s singing is attractive, and the nice, quiet (acoustic) guitar is soothing. The first is called Wish You Were Hear, and the other is an acoustic, hidden track. To end “Voices”, there are two consecutive ballads. He has more control over his voice for the whole album, particularly on songs such as What A Sight, Monsters, and You Can Run, But We’ll Find You. The use of soloing is even present in the single, Monsters, which is probably the best choice of being a first single because it’s one of the few catchy songs, but it is also clearly darker than most of Matchbook Romance’s other workings.Īndrew Jordan’s singing has improved, even though it is less catchy, and is somewhat like the lead singer of 30 Seconds To Mars. That quality however, isn’t very technical, but is a definite improvement over the bands previous album. There is literally no chorus on most of the songs, and the band actually depends on musical quality to attract the listener. Here on “Voices”, that completely changes. ![]() The guitar playing was simple, and the signing was too. About every song on “Stories and Alibis” was catchy, and upbeat. I was excited, as well as curious what the new album, “Voices”, would sound like, and I must admit, I was once again disappointed, but after a few more listens, the album grew on me. Well, here we are a couple years later after the release of “Stories and Alibis”. Most of the songs were catchy, and had some nice, although simple, instrumentation to them. Eventually, the album grew on me, and I actually started to take quite a fancy the band. After purchasing it, I thought the whole album was drearily boring at first, but then I knew I needed to be more accepting, and not so critical of something. Well, when I heard Matchbook Romance’s second single, My Eyes Burn, I knew that I had to own their album, “Stories and Alibis”. I’ve grown to let go of such pre-mature thoughts, and listen to any band, while being open to whether, or not they are good. This is true for some bands, but in the last couple of months I’ve come to realize how wrong I have been in my thinking.

We′re too afraid to close our eyes Afraid that we might drift and lose track of the time The brilliant lie blanks my blind Sends ghosts back to their graves and us back to life I'm sorry, I′m sorry Over and over (Just say it like you mean it) The best is when you say the worst is over It's like saying we had luck with a three leaf clover And you kept saying that over and over And I still catch you looking over your shoulder And it's okay, I know the only times you really loved me Were the times when you weren′t sober And that hurts We all hurt We all hurt And I kept saying that Over and over (Just say it like you mean it) For the taste For the sight For the sound For the fight For the weak For the strong For the light Say it like You say it like you mean it For the wait For the crush For the fear For the lush For the love For the hate For the touch Just say it like I will wait out for you I will wait out Over and over Just say it like you mean it Just say it like you mean it ![]()
