Piano music anyone? - Reviewed on 2008-12-03
* * * * *

Alright, Cavanaugh park and Globes and Maps are the easiest songs to like, however there also the slowest, if you want there best song which, once you listen to the whole c.d a few times WILl be the one you will play when people ask about the band is "hurricane". If you want to know what type of music they play, the amazon tags in relevance are dead accurate. For my personal description, piano, with about a three doors down heaviness, please don't think this is a metal band like liquid tension expirement or Dream theater, it's a light rock band. If you've heard Jack's Mannequin, it's the same composer and singer, except something corporate is heavier and not songs all about girls but more about experiences. If you like one, you will like the other. To help you out, hurrican piano solo notes are.

left hand are normal notes, right hand is in brackets, left hand note is played simaltaneously with right hand note. The second note in your right hand is the lowest right hand note of that sequence.

a(a,e,c,e,b,e,a,e) f(a,f,c,f,b,f,a,f) c(g,e,c,e,b,e,a,e) g(g,d,c,d,b,d,a,d)

If anybody wants to help clarify that, go for it, the notes are there though, just not well described. Cavanaugh park chord are b, e, Ab,Gb
ALl major chords, if you've got an hear, you can figure out the right hand. It's based on "Eb, Gb , B" as individual notes, and then you switch the "Eb" to a "E" and then once you've moved back, you play "Db, Gb, Bb" these sets of three repeated are played with the left hand notes "Eb" "E" "eb" Db"

Drunk girl start on a G major chord, there's an E flat you throw in, it's easy to figure out

Hopefully if you can follow these they help, I gave the c.d five stars so obviously I'm a fan, buy it unless you only like metal.
Best album in the last 5 years - Reviewed on 2007-11-12
* * * * *

Why do I say it's the best album in the last 5 years? Because it never comes out of my play list, I play the songs on this album more than any other.

It sucks when you go out and buy an album, take it home (or download), start to listen and you find out that the one song you liked is the only good one, or maybe your lucky and you find that half of them are ok...with this album they are all outstanding.

If you buy the DVD or download it don't worry, all the songs are great.

This is the best Something Corporate album out there so if you happen to like them, have heard of them, have an album or a song...get this album, you'll enjoy it.

Oh and I don't know why people are calling this emo, it's not, I don't get why it gets classed that way, it must be from people that don't know what they are talking about, emo fans wouldn't class it that way and neither do Something Corporate fans. If you must label it call it rock, punk rock or pop punk, any of those are a better descriptor.

I first stumbled across Something Corporate with the new musical stylings of Jack's Mannequin and what I found was music that that was just as good as JM but also had a nice flair of harder rock with a little punk edge. This album is SoCo's best work. 'North' is a very good album in itself but just isn't comparable to LOTW. 'I Woke Up In A Car', 'Punk Rock Princess', 'Fall', and many others make this a must have for any JM or SoCo fan.
its not for everyone but that doesnt mean it sucks. - Reviewed on 2006-07-29

ok...so here it goes...this is my last review for a while. if you think about it...reviews are kind of pointless. everyone has different taste even in the same genres. for example..i happen to like some (dare i say it?) emo music, but i dont really dig this album. i mean its a nice piece of work. i respect the talent and effort that went into it..and there are some catchy songs. i dig hurricane...and thats why it was a single. and FYI...just listen to the samples...if they dont grab you...dont buy it. i mean...surely if you've been dumped enough to the point where you listen to deat metal you wont like this album at all...thats a no brainer. and by the way...death metal is the PERFECT music to listen to if you want to prevent being dumped again because noone will want to come near you anymore if they hear you listening to it. (but thats just my opinion...im entitled...right?) so...while this review wasnt really about the abum...i hope it helps people to realize that they need to trust their own tastes...and not the taste of others. i know what i like..so i buy it...im not going to tell you to buy anything i like...because you might not. and...for the record..(pun intended)..i know that if i was a musician...i would LOVE to sell as many copies of my album as humanly possible. besides...if im going to spend so much time making music for people to listen to..im gonna need to make money. i would still love doing it...money just helps. so...selling out aint that bad. or i could just write death metal and have some lonely overly dumped tortured souls at my concert. that would rock. try before you buy....reviews cant help you choose.

I sometimes have to moderate how much I listen to this cd because if I don't, I would listen to it all the time. There's nothing like a sweet piano solo in the middle of a punk song! I saw these guys in concert back in 2002 and ever since then I have been a big fan.
