 THE
LIVING BLUE-Fire, Blood, Water (Minty
Fresh) If you’re a fan of The Rolling Stones (in their prime), Beck,
Franz Ferdinand or The Killers, The Living Blue (originally dubbed the Blackouts)
is a group that you want to add to your list of favorites. There is a
definite mix of retro rock, with today’s alternative in the guitar
driven tracks on this CD. This is a group who can actually play their
instruments, and they showcase that talent in tracks like “She Bleeds
Pink,” and “Secrets.” This is an album anyone can listen too. It’s
not heavy rock, but then again it doesn’t fall into the category of
sugary pop either. It has that
old school jam session vibe that’s not too abrasive, but you can still
rock out to it. My favorite has to be “Murderous Youth,” a tune about
an average Joe just trying to live a normal life, but he has this dark
cloud hovering over him all the time. He has to realize that even though
things seem bad now, everything isn’t always as it appears. The song’s
beat has a James Bond feel to it that underlines the mysterious lyrics.
This is a great party album. You can’t listen to this cd, and not nod
your head or tap your foot. -Krystal
