Owl City album is vibrant

In this edition we are reviewing Owl City’s album Midsummer Station. This album is quite foreign to me because I’m more of a metal guy, but at the same time it was still cool to listen to. So after listening to the 12-track album there were three songs that really jumped out and here they are. 

The first song is “Shooting Star” The song starts out with a cool synth riff, which is something I’ve always liked in music. Another thing about this song is that it was vibrant with life. In other words the song brought me joy, such a sweet tune.

The next song is “Silhouette”. This song is sadder with its soft piano and heart-breaking lyrics, and I can relate to it in a lot of ways from past experiences.  That’s something I also like, when an artist writes a song that a fan or a first-time listener like myself can relate to and feel good.

So another cool song, the last one, is “Take It All Away”. I really like this song because of its deep heartfelt lyrics such as “There was a hole in my heart and tears in your eyes,” which sinks deep. 

My rating for this album would have to be a 10 out of 10. The reason being that I really enjoyed the album. Usually I’m head banging to Ozzy or Iron Maiden but this was soft, vibrant, and catchy.
