Shout Out Louds
Our Ill Wills
The Shout Out Louds follow up their debut album, Howl Howl Gaff Gaff with Our Ill Wills, released Sept. 11.
The album starts out with possibly the best song on the entire album and the first single, "Tonight I Have To Leave It." Within the first minute of the album, you can hear a strong resemblance to The Cure. Frontman Adam Olenius's sound is very similar to Robert Smith's. If you are a fan of The Cure, you will love this album. If you are a diehard fan of The Cure, you may see it as a rip-off.
Though the entire album is a great listen, the album has some songs that stand above the rest. The highlights of this album include "Tonight I Have To Leave It," "Your Parents Living Room," "You Are Dreaming" and "Hard Rain."
There are a few songs that bring down its overall feel. "Blue Headlights" and "Meat is Murder" are avoidable.
