We all knew Jason Lancaster knew how to write lyrics and sing and play guitar. What we did not know however was if he could start a band from scratch and get back to Mayday Parade status. While Mayday Parade right now is on top of the world and headlining every concert they do, Go Radio is easily making their way up the ladder of success. One of my biggest fears for Go Radio is that they would end up sounding a lot like Mayday Parade, but thank God it is completely different! I kept thinking in my mind that this would be one sad song after the next about past relationships and broken hearts. I'm glad that Mr. Lancaster was able to provide us with a little more variety.
Jason Lancaster has managed to wow me with his powerful and mesmerizing voice. Jason has that type of voice that when he starts singing you know who it is. Let's be honest, no one really cares about anyone else in the band because Jason Lancaster is the band. With his catchy lyrics and his simple guitar work plus the rest of the band he really turned this album into a masterpiece.
In my opinion the album starts off with its weakest track, which is not really all that weak, Lucky Street. It then leads into its most lyrically powerful track, Any Other Heart. From beginning to end, there is lyrical magic going on. The only thing I have a problem with on this album is Forever My Father, only because there are two versions of it on the album and it was also on their self produced E.P., Welcome to Life. It opens with a bang and ends with a powerful song. Jason put all of his emotion into this album and it shows with this masterpiece.
I give this album a 9.1/10
Listen to - Any Other Heart
