I've been anticipating the new Boxer Rebellion album a while now and can't stop listening to it since it's release this past week. Promises might be missing that one home run song like "No Harm" but it's such a well rounded album you won't even notice. The songs flow together so well and you get lost in the music. That's the way albums should be, folks. Not a few singles slammed together with pure garbage but a complete and collected piece of work. I really like their album Cold Still and Promises has it's own personality. Maybe because it doesn't have that one song yet I've gravitated to. Time may change that. Overall, this album is just well polished and worth the purchase.
"Diamonds" is the big single so far from Promises. It has a catchy chorus and you can't beat the line "I'm not good next to diamonds." Not sure who can claim they're good next to diamonds actually. Kayne West has a big enough ego that might take a stab at that statement.
Promises is a really well balanced album. It has some subtle moments and then some bigger songs like "Always." "Always" has a big chorus and it's really polished. The production value on this album is definitely up there and songs like this really make you hear it. Again, this album might be missing those stripped down earnest moments of Cold Still but overall, it's probably the band's best work yet.
