Lead single “Bill of Goods” and “The Take-Away” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This is the first studio album from Face to Face since bad diagnosis in 2002. It has been five years Face to Face’ last studio CD, “How to Ruin Everything” which won Array Academy Awards� and was nominated for album of the year. Smart music for smart people.
It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: The Take-Away, which shows, blatantly, how much Face to Face has evolved as a singer. 14 Hours - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing is the albums biggest surprise. The New Way is one of the best records ever. Blew our minds when we first heard The World in Front of You. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Face to Face. Unconditional is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Shoot the Moon is simple, dignified and effective, Face to Face refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Face to Face breathes new life into the music in Graded on a Curve. Face to Face offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. I was truly moved when I heard Waiting to Be Saved. Double Standard - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. The Compromise - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Face to Face. It’s a great pleasure to listen to How to Ruin Everything from the beginning to the end.
