Reader Reviews
This is a suprisingly good melodic punk album and is a vast improvment on 'you are freaking me out' the album starts off with a indie punk feel which continues throughout. I really like the lyrics on Mexico it's just very emotive and you can picture whats going on as though it's right infront of you. I decided to find out a little more about samiam after hearing the thirty second song on short music for short people so if a thirty second song can impress you imagine what a full album can do. Below are the songs from astray ranked out of 5. 1.sunshine 4/5 2.wisconsin 4.5/5 3.super brava 3/5 4.mud hill 5/5 5.paraffin 4.5/5 6.calloused 5/5 7.mexico 5/5 8.dull 5/5 9.curbside 5/5 10.bird bath 5/5 11.how long 5/5 12.why do we 2.5/5 Dull, curbside, mexico and calloused are the main tracks that make astray stand out, this is the first samiam release i decided to get hold of and it's pretty good i heard 'you are feking me out' when i borrowed it which was'nt really bad but it was nothing in comparison to this, well buy it if you want real melodic punk with the emotion in the right place. The album should perhaps get 5 stars but for a few songs not living up to the rest such as 'why do we' which is a pretty poor end to a good album really. Samiam seem to be a pretty angst ridden punk band in a hostile environment over things such as relationships and looking deep into life which i feel gives them that drive that really makes them pull it off so if thats also your scene then this is the ideal album for you.
