\"\"<\/a>I\u2019ve been excited for this album for a while now, as watching the process of this band grow and evolve over the years through countless live shows that never disappoint, and music that delivers a message and a feeling is a treat. This album is in a way a new beginning for Tonight Alive as they move to a new label home and get ready to bring the same if not more passion to this new album.<\/p>\n

OK how can I not love an album that starts with a \u2018whoa oh\u2019? We\u2019re off to a good start Tonight Alive. Big drums drive this one before it kicks in and \u2018Book of Love\u2019 is the perfect way to be back, this sounds great and will easily be a show opener for months to come. \u2018Temple\u2019 was our first taste of the new album and this is one of those songs that when it gets stuck in your head stays there and I actually found myself humming it as I walked to work the other day, that damn hook in the chorus is where it\u2019s at and lyrically this song shows so much growth in this band, these kind of songs are really important and if you hadn\u2019t noticed it\u2019s been our \u2018Video of The Week\u2019 up on the site since it was released, that\u2019s how much we dig it. Newest single \u2018Disappear\u2019 slows things down slightly and allows Jenna\u2019s voice to truly be heard as the guitars underlay here with some amazing production allowing the song to get to where it needs to be, almost electronic in parts and different to anything we\u2019ve heard from the band it\u2019s really well done and with the addition of Lynn Gunn of PVRS on this track I\u2019d be very surprised if this one didn\u2019t make it into the band\u2019s live shows as a staple.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Other\u2019 is something a little different for the band but different is good as oh man, I love the way the drums are recorded on this one, and if there\u2019s one thing Tonight Alive do well it\u2019s write a chorus. \u2018In My Dreams\u2019 is another slower rocker and has just became a favourite of mine, I\u2019m seriously digging what they\u2019ve done here. This is such a personal album, you really need to truly concentrate and listen to get involved, throw on some headphones, turn off the lights and enjoy. \u2018For You\u2019 I\u2019m calling a ballad on the album and this perfectly crafted love song is destined to be playing as the credits roll on a movie that deserves it. Sorry \u2018In My Dreams\u2019 you just got trumped by \u2018For You\u2019. \u2018Crack My Heart\u2019 turns the guitars back up on this huge rocker and the solo \/ breakdown section is great, and again nice production here. Watch the video for this one, it’s great!<\/p>\n

\u2018Just For Now\u2019 showcases Jenna\u2019s voice once again as she reaches those notes she effortlessly hits, and once again parts in here sound nothing like anything we\u2019ve heard from Tonight Alive before and it\u2019s so refreshing. \u2018Burning On\u2019 continues the run of there not being a bad song on this album, and \u2018Waiting For The End\u2019 is a big one saying \u201cI am not afraid to live\u201d and it\u2019s such a powerful statement and words to live by. Listen to this one closely this is a song about being in control, it\u2019s so good. Damn it, this one is super catchy from the first second and with \u2018Last Light\u2019 I know I\u2019m gonna like you, and here we go, yeah you\u2019ve just turned part power ballad and all awesome, these songs are just so well-crafted it\u2019s ridiculous. Let\u2019s just top it off with a bitchin\u2019 Middle 8, stop it, you\u2019re killing me! Dave Petrovic you\u2019ve produced one hell of a tune here, as with the others but this one is truly a stand out.<\/p>\n

A piano begins \u2018Looking For Heaven\u2019 as this ballad comes in late into the album, and is a nice wind down after what we\u2019ve had prior, it\u2019s also nicely unexpected but hearing the words so clearly and the delivery of said words is a treat. Now THIS I want to hear live, just a piano and Jenna\u2019s powerhouse voice on stage would be outstanding. We close the album out with \u2018My Underworld\u2019, this one featuring Corey Taylor as he takes the second verse and what a pairing, damn, this works so well. I truly can\u2019t say enough good things right now about this one, I just found my favourite track of not only the album but this year, yes we\u2019re only eleven days in, but this one will be on rotation for quite a while. Big, bold, and perfect.<\/p>\n

In my opinion this album has set a benchmark for 2018, both musically, and lyrically. Tonight Alive are an important band in today\u2019s musical landscape and they once asked us on their debut album \u2018What Are You So Scared Of?\u2019 and right now if I was to ask the band that question I hope they\u2019d say \u2018Nothing\u2019 as they have delivered, and delivered so damn well with \u2018Underworld\u2019. Music is such a personal thing and for Tonight Alive to open up like this and deliver us this album full of songs that share their honesty with the world shows so much respect for the craft and for their fans who can be let in. I wish more bands had the balls to make an album like this. I\u2019m so bloody proud of this band.<\/p>\n
