Ok, back in my hardcore MXPX days, I always noticed how there was this band they were on tour with/thanked/talked about constantly. This band was called Slick Shoes. I started to hear their name everywhere after that. 2 years later, I decided to give them a shot. I downloaded a song from them called "Clenched Fists, Black Eyes" and was hooked. Good gravy. It was all I ever wanted in a pop punk song: little to no intro, fast, clean, and good vocals. I then spent the rest of the day downloading as many songs from them as I could. Then one day I discovered that a good friend of mine had their newest cd, so I uh, stole it from him. The second I put it in my car's cd player, I felt complete. Being the cool guy I am, I drove around all day so I could hear it, and left it in there for a month before I even considered listening to something else. There is not one song on here that I skip.
- 1- Another Day: Nice sample for the intro. This song doesn't really have a major impact, but a good intro song to the cd.
- 2- Constancy: A faster song, a little bit darker sounding.
- 3- Angel: This song is probably what some consider their most popular song. Sweet bass intro and just overall GREAT song.
- 4- Peace of Mind: Transitions straight from Angel. This is probably my favorite song on the cd. Loved the ending.
- 5- Hide and Seek: This song is just kinda there. Not a big impact, kinda resembles the tone of Another Day. Still good though.
- 6- Lucky: Another song that's just kinda "there", but is still not skip-worthy.
- 7- Have I Said too Much?: I love this song, it always puts me in a good mood. Nice and fast and uh, happy. This song is really fun to sing to.
- 8- Elisa: Nice intro that breaks into a fast, up tempo song. This cd is really dang happy.
- 9- Don't Mess With Texas: Good transition from Elisa. I love this song. I use the beggining of it to tune the toms on my drumset too. How handy.
- 10- Good Intentions: More of a darker song, complete with screaming background vocals. A .
- 11- This is Your Life: This is a harder, meaner song with group vocals and what-not. Really different from the rest of the cd.
- 12- There's a Reason: Just another good song. I don't know what to say about other than it's uh, GOOD.
- 13- I Guess: This songs a little bit darker too. Fast song with a sweet breakdown/solo at the end.
- 14- Not That Far: Another happy song. More mellow and mid-tempo, good song to end the cd with.
- 15- :This track is unlisted, it's a laid back vocal-less cover of AC/DC's "Noise Pollution" Very cool.
