A fun debut
Posted August 11, 2007
By Nathan,
The punk/rock Letters to the president is the debut of Hawk Nelson, a group who sings about life, girls, and God - mostly in that order.
Letters to the president is a up-beat refreshing album that has a verity of types of music. Through out the album is softer songs like "from Underneath" and the single "take me", but they also rock with Trevor McNiven (thousand foot crutch) on "race car". But the real appeal is the punk songs. Singles like "things we go through" and every little thing" are fun and sound great, but the best of the album is" California" and the title track. "Someone else before" sounds cool (but pointless), but that's the extent of the highlights.
Most of Hawk Nelson's songs are meaningless, which is not bad, but when they do talk about important things it's not very deep. "Every little thing" and "Take me" are good, but the best is "letters to the President", but over all though the lyrics are not very impressive.
A good sounding album but could improve in a lot of things, especially the lyrics. But Hawk Nelson does have good marks for their debut CD.
