Blue October

Approaching Normal [2009]

In my opinion, one of the greatest bands in existence. The latest album, Approaching Normal, full of beautiful songs that captivate. More so then the albums of before.
There are bands you find which you can completely relate to, that absorb you with in lyrics and emotion. Blue October are one of these bands, providing that you are have a large spectrum of emotion, larger then that of a tea spoon, Blue October will slip there fingers around your heart strings and tug. You will listen, you will feel and you will remember through there music. Some describe them as indie rock, others rock, progressive, alternative. However you wish to pigeonhole them, they are beautiful. I recommend this band to anyone who has ever felt anything, ever loved anything, ever lost anything, ever lived with themselves through mistakes.
The strength of this band will break your beautiful heart over and over, just to mend it again, they will captivate you, they will bring you back from your own personal hell that you've vanished within and they could heal any wound given half a chance. Through every album you will enter in an emotional roller coaster. And we all have our favourites. We all have songs we can listen to over and over again. For me there are dozens of songs by Blue October that I can never get enough of. Given them a try. It will be a decision well made.
This is a band you can listen to for hours and then put down for months just to come back to and fall in love with all over again.
Verdict: Blue October, highly recommended.
