Moodswings

here is defiantly something special about this album. This is a fairly diverse album, and yet it feels strangely familiar. Almost every song feels like an old favourite. Imagine 90's pop with the Beatles singing backup, Elton John supervising the lyrics, and a hint of modern pop-punk.

It starts off with a really fun German track entitled "Auf einem anderen Stern" or "On Another Star," which is a love song, in which the speaker sings to his lover how their love will keep them away from all the chaos in the world. This is followed by a very "pop-ish" I-have-a-new-crush track entitled "Beautiful Girl." I have to admit that this is the song that caught me. "I Back Down to Razorblade Town" is also pretty fun if you ignore the obvious themes and "Play With Me" has really fun bell and guitar lines.

The band itself is really great. The electric guitar really stood out for me on a few of the tracks. Also, the creator wasn't afraid to use back-up singers or press beyond the guitar-bass-drum set mold that has has too tight of a grip on music.

The entire album appears to be about one girl: "Julia," which is really effective at bringing the "Moodswings" all together into one nice collection of music.

This is, no question, the best album I've ever seen on Jamendo.

I can understand why this album is very popular on Jamendo, very easy to listen to listen to, let alone enjoy, very layed back,even ambient sounding, let alone, chilled at times, rock/pop, in both German and English Language at times the lyrics. Good solid vocals, great music and most of all. Excellent listening material and very professional sounding at that. Well worth a download and a check out, I see the reason why now!

Best pop music available on Jamendo! Excellent tuning, vocals and music. Can't start my day without listening to it. The music is just awesome! It is difficult to digest the fact: such professional stuff could be found for free.
