Search - Wade :: Odd Man Out

Impressive Underrated Album

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Recommended for fans of JEW, Limbeck, Hey Mercedes, later Face to Face and the like. Think of a mix of the above. (I don't agree with the Blink and Green Day comparison, there may be a bit of a Blink element in here, but this is mature music). A must have if you want a sound between JEW's Clarity and Bleed American. It's more accessible than any band I mentioned, but at the same time doesn't suffer in quality for it. Real audio samples Never, and Sit Down are what their main sound is about. Insidious Giver as well, but you don't get to hear the fully instrumented chorus here. Super Ball is an odd one, Howsoever is harder than usual. Enough talk, you can hear for yourself. You need this album for Sit Down alone. Buy it because it's hard to get, you won't see this at many other online stores."

Excellent Album.

"This is Carpe Wade's thrid album but sadly, it is the only American release. Another sad point is that Interscope dropped this band so now Wade is signed with a swedish record. They have a new album coming out or it already came out...I don't know but it is in Sweden and you should go fly over there and get it. Wade sounds kind of like Weezer but not really. It doesn't sound completely like punk rock either as I used to think. It's classified as indie rock and it's pretty good I must say. Buy it, it's a great CD. My favorite song is "sit down" as played in Mack Dawg's "Decade", an excellent snowboard film (which you should also buy)."

Solid Album

"A sound reminiscent of Blink 182 mixed with Green Day, this obscure band has quietly put together a great album for modern rock fans (the song Unsober is a dead ringer for any Weezer fans out there). If your musical tastes lean in that direction, give this album a shot - you won't be disappointed."
