The Calling

THE REVIEW

II are the remaining members, Alex Band and Aaron Kamin, II is the title of the Album, II is the release of the Album.

Alex's voice is chilling and Aaron's guitar is planetary, the tracks are warm, mature, and romantic, there is a lot of intensity in the lyrics, in the application and execution, I would say simply fantastic. Another beloved cover, the MAN, the most extraordinary and complicated mechanical machine of living gears that amiably unites with a handshake under the symbolic winged and graceful protection.

"One By One" - a melodic, sunny opening a poem where love shapes the soul and body - "Our Lives" hot track, the sensual and seductive voice melts between two naked bodies embracing amidst whispers and deep exchanges - "Things Will Go My Way" light guitars and percussion introduce an explosive progression of liveliness and symptomatic desire to dream - "Chasing The Sun" very decisive and pressing, a lot of expressive romanticism surfaces, the dominant percussion and the electric guitar maneuver through the song of songs - "Believing" the voice becomes an iris at 360° where to abandon oneself means to let the soul, now faded, immerse in primary colors - "Anything" very beautiful, ample rhythm and the percussion are masterful as a delicious love to be meticulously preserved and consumed in small essential doses only on Dr. Strangelove's prescription - "If Only" gentle and calm track, silvery refrains, fleshy and dazzling voice - "Somebody Out There" the guitar carves a rough line, the voice fills this line traced on the skin like warm breath that penetrates the ear, making you shiver with pleasure whispering silent, exciting words - "Surrender" sparkling and enchanting, playful and innocent, a puff of wind - "Dreaming In Red" guitar and percussion skip like many children in a courtyard focusing on balancing on one leg in that unforgettable game called "world" - "Your Hope" the vocal parentheses of Aaron and the charismatic voice of Alex are the perfect concluding frame of this extraordinary picture.

A "transshipment" of purity and lovingly carnal desire, expressive healthy emotions, in short I would define this Album as an effervescent vitamin C aspirin for those moments in life when fatigue prevails.
