User Album Review
Despite the band’s stormier days, Blue October is back better than ever with their upcoming release, I Hope You’re Happy. The Texas quartet – composed of Matt Noveskey, Ryan Delahoussaye, and Jeremy and Justin Furstenfeld – have reached a pivotal point in their career. The new record, set to release August 17th via Up/Down / Brando Records, displays a positive and genuine side of the band. Coming out on the other side with a record produced by Frontman Justin Furstenfeld, Blue October is ready to share with the world that being happy is their main focus for both their listeners and themselves.
The 12-track playlist takes off to a haunting beginning as eerie keys transform into a winding sound that sounds like a VCR fast-forwarding; snippets of different elements seep into the winding until blasts of snare drums bring all the elements back in focus. Justin’s vocals ease in against an enhanced raindrop noise with whisper-like, layered vocals, adding to the creepiness effect. The opening track builds intensity as the chorus comes in powerfully, scratching the surface of personal demons in an honest yet non-confrontational way that sets the tone for the entire album.
Ultimately, this album is the soundtrack to every lost soul’s heart and mind, gripping onto true and genuine emotions such as heartbreak and finding love again. Blue October continue to stick to their dynamic sound paired with lyrics that have kept them in the limelight all these years; and the combination and diversity of structure, composition and humanity is guaranteed to resonate with any listener, veteran or new fan. For these reasons, CrypticRock gives Blue October’s I Hope You’re Happy 5 out of 5 stars.
