My thoughts on Fireflight's For Those Who Wait| Posted February 04, 2010
I have been hearing the song Desperate on Air1 for some time now and I have really loved that song and I have been highly anticipating the new album and I am happy that I can finally hear the album streaming and the album is as good as I thought it would be, which is phenominal. I love the album and I can't wait until it comes out next week for sale!
Good Things Come...| Posted February 03, 2010
For Those Who Wait, the third release by Florida Hard Rock Band Fireflight, picks up where Unbreakable left off and barely slows down. From the Opening Title cut to the closing ballad "It all comes down to this" we are treated to the best Female Fronted Rock this year. When not screaming out some of the most deep and spiritual lyrics out this year, vocalist Dawn Michele slows things down for songs like "He Sees You" and showcases an ethereal voice similar to Evanescence Amy Lee or Plumbs Tiffany Lee.
I am placing this album on my Short list of Perfect Albums, which currently include Chasing Furies with Abandon, Skillet Awake and Evanescence- Fallen. I am placing it as My #1 album of 2010 and I dare anyone to try to knock it off.
Fireflight rocks!!!| Posted February 03, 2010
I saw them in concert not to long ago and they played Desperate. I was already excited for their new album at that time. Well after hearing the preview.....it rocks!!! They still have their same great sound which makes them who they are. I love them. I think everyone should buy their new album. I know I will.
Well worth the wait| Posted February 03, 2010
Let's get this clear right up front - there isn't another band out there that combines the clarity of message, the beautiful lead voice, and the willingness to rock it out loud that Fireflight brings to the table. Here, once again it's all on display.
Great Album| Posted February 03, 2010
I enjoyed it overall. There were four songs that stood at on the album for me. I have heard Desparate before on the radio do I like that one. The Title track, "For Those Who Wait," really speaks to me what I have been going through for the last couple of years. The last two songs on the album I really like as well. "All I Need To Be" and "Recovery Begins" just spoke to my heart and touched me. They have encouraged me today and I could listen to them over and over again and still want to listen to them. A great album worth picking up when it comes out.
For Those Who Wait: It's Worth The Wait!| Posted February 02, 2010
Upon first listening, Fireflight's For Those Who Wait sounds different, which makes me jump for joy, as many bands stick with the sound that helped them make it big. Unbreakbale was an incredible album, and at first I was worried that it would be hard to top, as many bands peak musically at their sophomore album.
Alas, I was wrong.
Their sound has matured, while their songwriting is simplistic, but, as always, solid. Overall, it is a meeting between a revised Healing of Harms and Unbreakable with a touch of strings that really works for them as a band. I am pleasantly surprised and as long as listeners appreciate it as the next step up from the bellowing guitars and hard rock sound of Unbreakable, it will be seen as it's own piece.
Right now, Fire In My Eyes, For Those Who Wait, New Prespective, and Name are the most notable tracks.
For some, it may take more than one listen, as I know Unbreakable was well recieved in comparison to Healing of Harms, but I plead with you, skeptical reader, do give it a good listen.
I cannot wait| Posted February 02, 2010
When I heard "For Those Who Wait" and "Desperate" live, I knew this album would be a career defining moment for Fireflight. If you don't know about Fireflight, you will definitely not get them out of your heads after this one. The haunting "Name," and "Recovery Begins," showcase Dawn's beautiful voice and dynamic range as well as a piano track that truly sets the mood. This whole album is laced with hope and that waiting on God is a good thing because He always keeps his promises. I am betting that Fireflight's popularity will sky rocket after this one. Love it!
