Good
Posted October 03, 2007
By Nathan,
The Indie rock band Nevertheless' debut album Live like we're alive is a good start. Frontman Joshua Person vocals are a big part in the pop/rock act, but it's raw, and with most songs, are a little too simple. But still is very good.
The music is not the best but their first single "the real" sounds great, unfortunately that is about the best sounding song. Patience and devotion", "time and "losing innocence" make up the core of the CD. The title track "live like we're alive" is the hardest song but it tells listeners that they are not hard rock.
Slower songs like "it's me", "lover", and "O' child" are pretty good but could be better. Nothing on the album is amazing but it's all pretty good. Unlike a lot of opening artists focus on their music and let the lyrics slide a little, but Nevertheless does not shy away as all their songs are meaningful.
"the real" and live like we're alive" has similar, solid messages and "time" is good too. Highlights of the album are the songs "lover" and "losing innocence" which show that a big strength is in song writing. Even a song about a girl (perfect chemistry) ends up focusing about God.
A very solid debut, as Nevertheless really showed a lot of potential in all areas. The music is not perfect yet but expect Nevertheless' next CD to be even better,
