In a world of utter waste of talent. In a world of music so convoluted and run of the mill. A world where music speaks the same tone no matter if it's rap, rock, country or pop, an album like Vancouver is the voice in a sea of silence. WOW!
That's all I can really say about this incredible new offering from, easily my favorite musician of all time... People say bands like Modest Mouse have never changed thru their indie years, but they did, have and continue to do so. Matt Good has always been the same... Be it grounded in his Folk roots, the MGB days or his solo ventures... His lyrics, his ability to actually play an instrument and his need to express not only his feelings, but yours through his own voice... That's powerful. That's the kind of music I want to make with my band.
After a wealth of "so called" big album drops over the last 3 years covering absurd cold Play... U2's paper thin great album and recently Third Eye Blinds incredible disaster, Matthew Good dropping this album is a god send.
This is easily the album, musically, of the year... Will anyone stateside even give it the time of day? Hell no. They're too busy worrying about their rap and hip hop, Miley Cyrus pop trash and Nickle back/Breaking Benjamin ass load of redundant and recycled sound pools.
Vancouver is an album that speaks to anyone who grew up in a one location and held it dear to themselves for what it was and hated when it changed as your years made you change... It's a beautiful, soulful and melodic album full of soaring sweeps and catchy guitar hooks.
From Last Parade to Great Whales of the Sea to, my personal favorite song on the album "A silent army in the trees" this album takes you through every evolutionary emotion a great album should.
If you love music. If you love songs that say something... Get it. You'll love it more and more each time you listen to it. This is Goods best Solo effort yet. Easily putting him back into the same category he was in when MGB was alive and kickin. When U2, Thirdeyeblind, Cold Play and The Killers let ya down... You can always count on Good to come through with what they can't do.
It's literally been years since I had the motivation to go out and buy a CD. The bands these days just don't compare, and don't get me started about POP, biggest punch of talentless, refusing to grow the fuck up, camera whores that music has to offer. I will happily listen to hours of classical music than even one minute of that crap.
I hope you do, man. I don't care what you're going through or who you're going through it with... Matthew Good's music will definatley be a companion through it all. It might not make it go away, it's music afterall, but it will definatley make it easier to take.
That's what all good music should do. Music should be about mood. It's about a feeling... & when you see the so called "top" artist today, the rappers, the pop tweens, they don't have it. They're lost on what it is to feel anything cos they're either too young, too rich or too emotionless to know better.
When someone listens to "silent army in the trees" "Change of Season" "Appairations" and so many others... If they don't feel something, they don't like music. Simple as that.

Oh, hell yeah.

The lyrics to those good songs are a work of art themselves and always had a meaning somewhere in them and true about today's artists, they don't have it...at all.

I'm learning "Apparitions" on acoustic, songs like that one are an honor to learn.
