Before I played this CD I had decided that it was going to be over produced, whiney and very samey…however I was wrong.

Firstly I noticed that the singles have altered and been re recorded, in particular “Save It For The Bedroom” gone is the irritating and often mocked way in which bedroom, in the breakdown, was pronounced which makes for much easier listening; allowing the listener to appreciate the song for what it is a good catchy hook filled powerpop track.

There’s a good mix of up-tempo and ballads, something for every mood to relate to. It definitely seems that they have honed their sound.

Unfortunately it is noticeable that when singing the slower and more emotional tracks his voice is stronger, than when concentrating on sounding cool and “unique” in the up beat singles and so I would definitely like to hear their album in a couple of years time once the lyrics and voice have matured, but all in all this is a great first album from the YMA6 boys, I think this album will prove a lot of people wrong.
