Alrighty, this album comes from a Southern California band! Random fact? Yes, but that's the best intro I could come up with this close to the end of the school year.
Saosin's self-titled debut is a straight-up adrenaline rush. The lyrics are not necessarily something to "ooh" and "ahh" over, though a couple songs have some great individual lines.
What keeps me coming back to this album over and over again is the music itself. The guitars are insanely good, with ridiculous hooks, riffs, and all sorts of other good stuff. The same goes for the drum work on the album, which constitutes the best drum work I've ever heard.
Another instrument which you wouldn't think of right off the bat is the voice of the lead vocalist. His voice can go to seemingly otherworldly heights without having to go into a falsetto. It's obscene, and for some reason it just makes the music that much more exciting.
If you're in the mood for a while to bang your head to music that is pure thrashing for the alternative music lover, Saosin is the band for you.
My three favorite songs on the album are "It's So Simple," "Voices," and "You're Not Alone."
Here's a link to their Myspace.
