5.0 out of 5 stars i was so excited for this album to come out...., April 13, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Santi (Audio CD)

okay first of all i have to say, the academy is... is one of my favorite bands. i was so excited for this album to come out. i even pre-ordered it and everything.

honestly, i have to say it isn't an album you'll fall in love with the first time playing it through. but after playing the album over a couple of times, it just hit me, WOW! TAI hasn't dissappointed us.
the band's sound has definitely changed from their debut album, which i have to say i prefer, almost here. will's voice is like always amazing but also more unique sounding, and over all the music it self has a different sound. the songs aren't ones to automatically stick but give them a chance, and you'll be singing them for the rest of the week.

like always though, amazing lyrics
my personal favorites songs are:
neighbors
bulls in brooklyn
LAX to o'hare
same blood
we've got a big mess on our hands [i agree, this was a great choice for their first single]

5.0 out of 5 stars Ok So..., April 12, 2007

I came on here all pissed of at Rolling Stone for giving this album only 2 1/2 stars, which was the same damn rating they gave Weird Al's new album BTW. I was going to rant about how this album is AMAZING and how RS writers are idiots. Then I saw the reviews that were already posted here and realised everyone else already knew how good SANTI is. Thank GOD!
I am so proud of William and the boys. This is a HEARTY album with a great feel that only TAI can offer you. William's voice is orgasm worthy and although the guitars are amazing... the drum beats own this album and put you right over the top. The high hats bring goosebumps. I had to listen to it about four times before I began to feel the groove and the flow of the album...but once i got it...I GOT IT.
You will get it too.
Buy it Damn it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skeptical at first, but an AMAZING album., April 22, 2007

After reading several reviews of Santi, I was rather skeptical about the quality of the album. I mean Almost Here was such an amazingly good cd that I thought it would be near impossible to top. However after purchasing and listening to the cd about 20 times my mine has been thorougly changed. However it is a much different Academy Is... than in Almost Here. Their sound has evolved from a more poppy sound to a little bit harder and edgier. Overall it is an excellent evolution because Santi is an excellent album.
