Favorite Tracks: Pretty Things, What I Need, Do You Ever Think?
Decedy have released their long-awaited debut album, titled “1979.” After listening to this album, its name makes sense. The band seems to draw their influences from some older rock music, and this is shown very clearly across these songs. “Intro” shows off the vocals quite a bit. I honestly think it’s a really good introductory track and kind of wish that it was longer than it is. “Pretty Things” shows the talent that the vocalist of this band has. The chorus is one of the best choruses on the whole record and has one of the best vocal performances on the whole record. (Not to mention that the drums on here are pretty good as well.) “What I Need” stood out to me from first listen, especially because of the lyrics, with lines such as “Thank you for helping calm all my thoughts for me. You see I can't help but wonder how things could and might be.” In addition, the vocals on here are impressive and the guitar solo blew my mind. “Wasting Time” is a softer track that, yet again, lets the vocals shine. “Do You Ever Think?” instantly became a favorite from the moment I heard it. The vocals are incredible, there’s another impressive guitar solo, and some more well-written lyrics like ”All your hopes and your cares, let them all float back to you. All your worries and your fears, let go of all of them too.” “Back And Forward” has some pretty good melodies that get better as the song goes on. It’s pretty catchy and honestly just a fun track to listen to. “Petunia” is another softer song, with some great vocals that just impressed me more and more as the song continued. Again, it shows the band’s fantastic lyrical style, and one like that really got my attention was “Everything will work out fine in time. Don't fear; I'm here.” “Figuring Myself Out” is more of an acoustically-driven track for the most part, and that softer instrumentation allows the emotion in the vocals to really show, especially during lines like ”Finding strength, but I'm hardly feeling stronger.” “Forte” starts out as another one of the softer songs on the record, but it builds up as it goes on, leading up to a hard hitting chorus. Another hard hitting thing about this song is its lyrics, especially “You come to me in darkness, I'll show you light, I can tell you it'll be alright. You're not here alone.” As well as that, the melodies, especially in the verses, are really catchy. “Outro” is essentially just a more hard hitting version of the album’s opening track, which I found very interesting. It shows so much emotion in any way possible, from the incredible guitar and bass parts to the fantastic vocals. Overall, I really enjoyed this record. In all honesty, I don’t listen to that much of this style of rock music, but “1979” is a memorable record for sure and is one I can see myself coming back to.
