Particularly with the two songs I just mentioned, there is a raw realness about them that speaks to how we feel about relationships and puts everything on the line. Of all of the band’s strengths, their ability to write lyrics that resonate with listeners is the one that always amazes me. The two tracks that stand out most for me are You’re Dead Wrong and Happy Endings Are Stories That Haven’t Ended Yet, both of which boast some of the band’s best music and lyrics to date. It doesn’t come across as much as a long love letter as previous albums have, but rather demonstrates a little more maturity from the band. While many songs deal with love, others speak of loss, friendship, family, and life stories. One of Mayday Parade’s strengths has always lied in their lyrical content, which is demonstrated fully on the album. And while the lyrics of these songs indicate sadness (the latter about the death of drummer Jake Bundrick’s friend) the songs aren’t frustratingly slow or boring. Another similarity to signature Mayday songs is lyrical content about love and loss, particularly noted on heartfelt tracks like Call Me Hopeless, But Not Romantic and Everything’s An Illusion. Indeed the band doesn’t seem shy at all about mixing up their sound and delivering tracks that shift from piano to guitars seamlessly without seeming jumpy, demonstrated on tracks such as the beautiful Stay and previously mentioned Oh Well, Oh Well. And we are brought fully into the track, delivering signature Mayday lyrics with a delightfully unpolished sound that reminds the listener that this band is indeed a group of musicians who do not need post production to sound good. But within the first minute the piano winds down and gives way to crashing symbol and a fast rush of guitars. Opening track and single Oh Well, Oh Well leads with a piano intro and singer Derek Sanders’ soprano, and as a violin joins in with the piano, one might be led to believe that this will be another soft rock album. Where the band has always shined with their slower ballads, this album has an equal balance of both those softer songs and their faster paced alternative fare. Where Anywhere But Herelost a lot of the grit and rock that drove Mayday’s previous work, this album reconfirms the bands signature sound, but with a bit more maturity and refinement. Leaving their major label contract behind, the boys came back with their third, self-titled album that nods back to their first release A Lesson In Romantics both lyrically and musically.
