Review: The Fall Of Kings - Tall Army (EP: Only For The Free)

The first time I listened to this track I wrote down three words, big, catchy and polished. I think that this really says it all about this track.

As soon as the track starts with a cleverly effected guitar feedback you know that this track has not been rushed in the studio and that some time has been taken to get this just right. It works great as a lead into the intro of big drums, bass and heavy guitar…

I’ve got to admit when the first verse kicked in it was not exactly what I was expecting. There where two surprises, First of all when the synth comes in and the track is transformed into a catchy upbeat number and secondly the lead vocals. I was expecting a generic low pitched heavy rock vocal but what we get is something completely different. The vocals are great, the singer sounds like he is fighting every note as it’s coming out (in a good way). The vocal melody is not the most complicated of all time but it does not need to be, it’s simple and catchy.

When we get to the chorus the thing you are going to remember is the repeated line “it’s so lonely” and no doubt it’s going to be the line you are singing to yourself after listening to the track. The chorus is brilliant in its simplicity and does its job perfectly.

The track carries it momentum all the way to the end and you can’t help but appreciate how polished this track sounds. All in all I really enjoyed Tall Army and I’m looking forward to future releases from The Fall Of Kings.
