"Do they know my fear of flying?"

So I was super excited about Superfamily's new album (out today). Probably overly excited. The thing had to be freaking transcendent to meet my sky high expectations. After all, I loved the hell out of their last release. As I should have expected, the new album is nowhere near as good as the last one. The sound is there, certainly, but the songs aren't as strong this time around. It's kind of like listening to a string of b-sides from the last recording session. Still, Superfamily creates a sound bigger than any band I can think of and they are one of the best groups out there. I know the album will grow on me, and I'm really complaining too much. If any other band released this I'd be lavishing praise on them. One of the highlights is the second track, I'll Never Pull It Off. It's one of the biggest and catchiest anthems on the album and the one that clicked with me the most on first listen. It's probably this record's The Radio Has Expressed... . One cool thing is that the album is available on itunes worldwide, so I was actually able to buy it the day it came out!
