That's My Dad. |
Whenever I believe something is fantastic by any means, I instinctively subtitle it as "That's My Dad", since dads are a given synonym for fantastic. Albeit not every father is great, on this website we'll live in our fantasies where everyone's dad goes fishing with you, takes you to strip clubs, concerts and manages to impress your friends with his 96' Impala. That's My Dad: A collection of all things considered, neglected and popularized. |

The Walkmen - Heaven
Let’s face it. The “Bows & Arrows” Walkmen is gone; gone with age. No longer is the cherished indie rock quintet filling up your hearts with picaresque and youthful A-grade post-punk vigor, instead The Walkmen have worked on a greater career act spanning seven albums including their latest 7th: “Heaven”. With each release, The Walkmen allowed themselves to age gracefully through their music and not hold up a forte, growing weaker over time. It’s a rare quality, considering how many rock bands get pressured into sustaining a profitable sound and image or refuse to leave their comfort zone. The Walkmen utilizes a long term band’s worst enemy and took it in as their pet, progressively creating more mature work as the calender pages flip over. “Heaven” alternates gracefully between quietly captivating songs like “We Can’t Be Beat” or “Southern Heart” to glistening gems like “Love is Luck” about charming memories of yesteryears and intricate characters throughout the thirteen tracks. Not only does the album prove as a rewarding and sensitive listen but reminds us of the true capabilities rock bands have within their own conditions. (7/10)
