\"\"<\/a>Third albums are generally an interesting enough prospect in themselves for both band and fan, but combine that with some lineup changes, releasing said third album via a new record label and on the back of all six band members making the commitment to basically drop everything and head to Sweden with the determination to come back with a career defining album, then you\u2019ve well and truly got yourself a case of GAME ON.\u00a0 The result \u2013 Notorious,<\/em> an album which in it\u2019s first week of release, debuted at #20 on the ARIA album chart and one that is sure to challenge everything you might have previously known Buried In Verona to be.<\/p>\n

The first taste of the album comes spewing forth the vitriol Maybe Next Time,\u00a0<\/em>a song \u201cdedicated to the person who tried to fuck up our lives and tried to end our fucking careers and tried to fuck everyone around us\u2026.\u201d.\u00a0 Ok, so this is no love song dedication, it\u2019s a song filled with hate, and brings the first obvious difference with the Buried In Verona we hear on Notorious <\/em>and that\u2019s delivering aggression vocally in a far more emotive fashion. I mean I could understand every single word being sung, get what I\u2019m saying?\u00a0 Four Years <\/em>fleets between punishing guitars and the aggression of the opening track, but hits you with a highly melodic chorus.\u00a0 Miles Away <\/em>kicks off with a big searing guitar riff and delivers a chorus with hooks galore and similarly, Can\u2019t Let It Go <\/em>featuring guest Ahren Stringer from The Amity Affliction follows a similar style.\u00a0 LionHeart <\/em>on the other hand is the slickest song on the album and basically just a straight ahead rock meets pop song, but with a pretty understated chorus, it\u2019s not a song that comes across as an attempt to crack the mainstream so to speak.\u00a0 Couldn\u2019t Give 34 Fucks <\/em>will no doubt become an instant live favourite, the most instant song on the album.\u00a0 Perceptions <\/em>with its musical layers, melodies and hefty dose of programming certainly brings in the production talents of the renowned Frederik Nordstrom.\u00a0 At just shy of 44 minutes and with a lot of twists and turns and shifts in intensity, it\u2019s an album that flies by damn quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo here we go, on a mission to find ourselves…”\u00a0<\/em>that\u2019s the message on Forget What You Know <\/em>and that\u2019s clearly the bands message to everyone with this song and ultimately, album.\u00a0 The accessibility of Notorious <\/em>will undoubtedly bring Buried In Verona a new audience and let\u2019s hope existing fans see this as the album of a band in control of their mission finding themselves musically, as opposed to one suffering an identity crisis. \u00a0As for me, this album has me hooked with a bunch of memorable songs and when it comes down to it, that\u2019s primarily what I seek from the music which I listen!<\/p>\n
