SaftySuit delivers with long awaited album

It only took four years, four months and ten days, but SafetySuit with “These Times” came out Jan. 3. 
 
This album is extremely different from their last album “Life Left to Go,” though that happens most the time when a band is gone that long. Unlike other bands, this change was a good one.
 
Do not get me wrong, I loved SafetySuit before, but the lyrics go with the problems in the world and the music goes with the upbeat of our times. And no, I do not mean songs like “Party Rock Anthem.”
 
A thing that bothers me the most is the lyrics are pretty much all the same. Sappy little love song, but you do get the occasional break up song. So you are either thinking of your special someone, or the one you just broke it off with a couple of months ago. But that is how all songs these says are, or partying.
 
The music though is different in every single song. Upbeat in one song, slow acoustic the next.   The music is something you listen to when you are in the best mood or hit next and you got your worst day ever mood.   Read the full story »
