Blue October is a rock band originally from Houston, Texas. The band was formed in 1995 and currently consists of Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jeremy Furstenfeld (drums, percussion), Ryan Delahoussaye (violin\/viola, mandolin, piano, backing vocals), C.B. Hudson (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Matt Noveskey (bass guitar, backing vocals). They have now released their fifth album \u201cApproaching Normal\u201d.
\n
\nListening to the new album of Blue October it first reminds a little of Fields of The Nephilim. The first half of the album is faster whereas the middle and the end of it is much slower. \u201cWeight Of The World\u201d starts out the album with demonic sounding voices in the chorus. \u201csay It\u201d has catchy riffs, as well as a catchy chorus. \u201cDirt Room\u201d is a very fast song, rocking with quite harsh vocals. \u201cBeen Down\u201d has slower and softer vocals, it\u2019s a very melodic song. From then on the album stays quite slow and thoughtful as well. You can hear extremely soft vocals on \u201cMy Never\u201d with a very emotional style of singing. \u201cShould Be Loved\u201d has a very danceable rhythm and they voice sounds a little smoky with touchy lyrics. \u201cKangaroo Cry\u201d sounds acoustic and pure, slow and emotional it grabs your soul and holds it tight. \u201cJump Rope\u201d is the funky song on this album, a very fitting title for it. There is an almost whispering voice to be heard on \u201cThe End\u201d, sometimes it sounds slightly panicking or even aggressive, sometimes threatening and sometimes simply scared. A very interesting song. All in all it is a great album, everything else than normal. Blue October is supposed to hit German clubs soon, so maybe I\u2019ll get the chance to see them around. Till then I guess I\u2019ll have to stick with the album.<\/p>\n\n\n
