Sounds like: Rock
The opener "Transplant" gets right into the easy listening Rock sound. The upbeat melodic vocals keep things gliding along steadily as the riffs start to elevate towards the chorus. The second verse starts right up and the chorus eventually breaks through and a guitar solo takes center stage to crank things up even higher. The track is a wonderful opener that sets a high standard for the rest of the album. "Travelling Underground" is a track that perfectly goes with the title. The pacing and melodies are perfect for walking through the city and just getting lost in and not having a care in the world. "Togther" has shades of Robbie Williams as the instrumentation and melody go hand in hand in creating Rock that's easily accessible. The sing alongs in a live setting could be something really special. The guitar solo is especially awesome in the track as well. "Stella Heartbeat" continues the top notch Rock sound. The track features a more upbeat nature and will get toes tapping for days with its grooves. "Tightrope" has more of a ballad feel to it than the previous track. The passion pours out with every note and lyric and really has its heart on its sleeve with its more emotional tones. "Agua Azul" will get people dancing along with its grooves and high energy. The track would be perfect in a movie soundtrack as the world flair is all over the track and has dynamic range in its delivery. "Mary Lou" feels a bit disjointed at times but comes together perfectly in its old school throwback chorus. The chorus harkens back to the old days of Rock and will entice fans for days with its melodies. "Crazy Monkey" switches up its pacing and has a steady groove to it as it shifts to a more march like approach. The catchiness is hard to ignore as the lyrical content just yearns to be sung along to. "One Million Miles" is a near six minute epic track that showcases their talent perfectly. The nonstop thrillride of emotion is always active and really conjures up feelings of how truly gifted the band is. The closer "My Last Song" wraps up the album perfectly. The album is a masterpiece in the different Rock styles that the band can offer up.
Verdict:
Tenderhooks excel at crafting mind blowing Rock stylings via their newest album.
