Straight off of Apollo's album of the same name,
which I must admit was
disappointing overall, “This Is My Town”
is easily the top track from
the album, and is really the key factor that the
rest of it seems so
average in comparison. Like a sophisticated Air
Traffic-esque group, but
with a dash of U2. Thankfully though this song has
just enough U2 to
make it well-written but not enough to encourage
suicide.
A beautiful guitar lick aches its way out of the
silence and meats
hart-hitting rhythmic brilliance, which soon works
it's way down to
gentle chorus; all a build up to a momentous chorus
that you'll be
hard-pushed to get out of your hear for a number
of days. It's your
regular inoffensive alternative light rock indie
blend that gets my
juices flowing and will never grow old. Set to
be a timeless classic
with any hope, just listening to it now I can't
obviously tell it's
brand new. Oh I love it. Hooray. It really does
tick all the boxes,
follows all the formulas, and applies the rules
of perfect song written.
It's flawless, besides the fact that it completely
outdoes everything
this band has done otherwise, as proven by the
B-side, “Peaks &
Troughs,” which is altogether more like
The Calling, minus the fun of
singing along to. Going nowhere, your finger is
just itching to skip
back to the opening track.
5/5
