"I don't want to be just another echo," he sings, evidently not realizing that he already is. Thats the good news, but almost simultaneously the sad news arrived: the new album is going to be their final one. As the familiar acoustic/electric, quiet-loud formula is applied yet again, Scannell indicts his band with another trite lyricism. "Echo" is at once Go's hookiest and most opaque moment. It's tiresome to keep making comparisons, but it's impossible not to when Vertical Horizon smothers whatever college rock identity it may have once had in layers of insipid radio filler. "I'm Still Here" seems to cross the band's 1999 hit with Michelle Branch's "Everywhere," which was produced by Go helmer John Shanks. "I can't wait until you let me down," Matthew Scannell sings over store-bought modern rock. "When You Cry" stands in for "Everything You Want" and introduces the album's catch phrase psychotherapy. Now, Vertical has returned with Go, an album that proves the band's lack of ideas wasn't a fluke, and reaffirms their status as third-tier imitators. Burning the Days is the fifth studio album from the band Vertical Horizon, released on September 22, 2009. In 1999, Vertical Horizon didn't have much with which to follow its breakthrough single, "Everything You Want." And yet the song's percolating groove provided enough sustenance for listeners led astray by Secret Samadhi, Live's pompous follow-up to Throwing Copper. Goofy nu-metallers may make music for chest-bumping in the arenas, but these guys are stuck writing soundtracks for Pottery Barn.
In the beige world of hot adult contemporary, interchangeable white guys rock test-marketed riffs under a relatively distinguishable frontman's greeting-card haiku.
While the metal guys' latent high-school anger and crushed-velvet posturing is pretty hard to take, at least they get to turn up the amps and kick out the jock jams. Thanks for supporting our band.As vapid as nu-metal became once the pump backed up and started spewing its smelly backwash onto the stages of Ozfest, the fresh-scent hallways of what the industry calls "hot AC" might be just as empty. 2 Rush drummer Neil Peart played drums on two of the album's tracks. 'Broken Over You' was released as the lead single. They wrap the note with a hearty thanks: “Basically, we have YOU to thank for our career and the music we’ve made, and we want to make more, if that’s okay with YOU. Vertical Horizon is an American adult alternative band, initially formed by Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane in 1991 while they were students at Georgetown. Echoes from the Underground is the sixth studio album from the band Vertical Horizon, released on October 8, 2013.
