Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Pershing


Pershing is a great follow up to Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. (Hereafter referred to as SSLYBY, or, "Band with an excruciatingly long name.") It has the same sound that I loved in their previous release, Broom, and it delivers new content as well. I haven't really been bored by this one. The lyrics are fun, and flow well. I am fairly sure that at present I actually like Pershing MORE than Broom. The opening track, "Glue Girls" is a solid, consistent piece of music. It maintains the rock sound that the band has established for themselves. The next track that really sticks out for me is "Dead Right", which is a simple track that sort of coasts along. I honestly think to dissect any of this music might cause me to fail to do it justice, but overall this is a great album. It reminds me of driving on a sunny day with the window down, or relaxing on the beach with your close friends. The track that really shines on the album is "Modern Mystery". It seems to talk about life in a simple context, which is something we can all relate to I believe. Though, I will have to say that my favorite track on the album is, "Think I Wanna Die". It may be my favorite song at the moment. The bassline is so good, make sure that when you listen to it, you turn the bass up slightly so that it can really work it's way into your cerebellum. Overall this album is a great follow up to it's predecessor, and may actually be better in the long run, though only time will really answer that question. Regardless pick it up, it will be a good experience for the ears.
