A Loss For Words - Motown Classics

Thought i'd put this one to my "listening to now" list. For you guys who like the band Four Year Strong, you'll like A Loss For Words. Well at least their sound. The band actually shares the same hometown as Four Year Strong and a couple of guys from the band features on Motown Classics.

A Loss For Words follow in the steps of Four Year Strong by creating a whole album devoted  to covers. The thing about covers is that you can't go wrong with a song that is already liked. Or can you? we've all heard that band covering that Britney song. Luckily here A Loss For Words mustered enough quality to pull this off. The album is fair with songs like All Night Long, I Just Called To Say I Love You and My Girl, songs 90's us karaoke-ed one too many times to admit. I'm just saying. We all know these songs.
 
Well the album isn't perfect. Some may not return to this album except to a few songs fore mentioned. There are a few more memorable enough to keep us listening but some just feel repetitive. Songs feel like fillers as you dive more into the album. I have split opinions on this album, on the lighter side, the album is fun and some may find themselves setting particular tracks on repeat. Those of you looking for a laid back fun album, this is it.   
  
3.5/5
