Shout Out Louds: Very Loud (EP)
This is just a three track EP, so it won't take long. But I feel its important to get this out there because these guys are phenomenal.
Very Loud came to me by way of my friend Sean. He described them as "a little Cure, a little U2, and a little of" someone else. I don't remember who that someone else was. But the description made me very hesitant. Then he put the EP on, and I was sold.
The three tracks on this disc do a very good job of displaying the wide talents the band has, and does what I think an EP should do: Make you want to buy the full album.
The title track both moves and yet has a little bit of melancholy somewhere in the singer's voice that is interesting and beautiful.
The second track, But Then Again No is the worst of the three tracks, but even being the worst of the three is still better than a lot of what's out there.
The final track, Wish I Was Dead, Pt.2, intrgues me. It made me curious what "Pt. 1" sounded like. And, after getting the bootlegged version of their debut album, Howl Howl Gaff Gaff, I found that it was different. And, to be honest, I liked Pt. 2 better.
In the end: This is a great, cheap investment, and will make you want to pick up the aforementioned album by these Swedes. See, something better than Abba did come out of Sweden.
