Product description:
'Vice Verses' is the work of a band that is so restless, they devote an entire song ('Restless') to the condition. It’s that very uneasiness – an unwillingness to choose the treadmill over the triathlon – that fuels the band’s forays into new musical territory and Jon Foreman’s unflinchingly honest lyrics. You can hear the tension build along with the first chords of album opener 'Afterlife,' leading into a bold statement of intent: “I’ve tasted fire I’m ready to come alive/I can’t just shut it up and fake that I’m alright/I’m ready now/I’m not waiting for the afterlife….I believe we start forever now.”
Songs like 'Afterlife' and 'The War Inside' take the harder-edged approach of 'Hello Hurricane' a step further, creating what Billboard has called “powerful, anthemic rockers…like an amalgamation of U2’s ‘Achtung Baby,’ Linkin Park.” Overall, 'Vice Verses' is a more eclectic collection than its predecessor with quiet gems like 'Souvenirs' and the title track next to the infectious 'The Original,' reminiscent of Foo Fighters, and the biting, largely spoken-word 'Selling the News.' The latter is a poetry slam Beck-meets-Beastie Boys style examination of a media-mad nation: “America listens the story is told/the hard sell, all caps, all bold…begging the question mongering fears/stroking the eye and tickling ears/the truth ain’t just what it appears/we’re selling the news.”
