Saves The Day have released their latest album, titled “9.” Saves The Day are a pretty well-known band that I’ve heard a lot about, considering they seem like staples of the scene in the pop punk and emo genres, but I hadn’t really given them a proper listen until I heard this album, which I enjoyed from the moment I heard the first track.
The EP starts off on a pretty interesting note with a self-titled track, showing the more pop punk and punk elements in the band’s sound with upbeat, impressive instrumentals and catchy melodies. It’s clever that the lyrics mention songs being stuck in your head, as I already knew after hearing this track once that it would be stuck in mine. “Suzuki” is another one with strong instrumentals, especially the bass and drums that show off for a bit before the final chorus comes in. There’s another impressive guitar solo on the following track, “Side By Side,” which has more punk leaning vocals and darker composition to match it well. “Kerouac and Cassady” is probably one of my favorites on this record. The song has a nice rhythm to it, and the instrumentals really stand out, with the bass being more prominent in the verses, while the guitar takes the lead during the huge intro and chorus, as well as during a brief section right before the softer bridge. “It’s Such A Beautiful World” and “Rosé,” the two tracks that follow, both have some catchy and interesting melodies and are both memorable tracks, and I can say the same thing about “1997” as well. “Rendezvous” is a track with some aspects similar to previous tracks on this record. Like “Rosé,” it’s another slower track with a very catchy chorus, and like the opening track, the melodies on here are very memorable and can easily get stuck in your head. The final track on here is “29,” and it’s a track that really surprised me. It’s twenty-one and a half minutes long, but it keeps the listener engaged and interested the entire time. It feels like the band took various different songs and put them all together in this one track. Each section transitions seamlessly into the next and they all go together so well. There are some more really good instrumentals and melodies all throughout the track, and I feel like it’s one of the strongest on this album as far as the vocals go. Overall, I really liked this record. I feel like it combines elements of both earlier and more recent pop punk, emo and alternative music, and as a whole, is a pretty interesting listen.
