Days of the New
Days of the New
Outpost Recordings 2001

Days of the new are a
surprisingly consistent band.
Travis Meeks has put togeth-
er a new lineup for Days of
the New, yet he managed to
keep the same sound that
was on the other Days
albums. By this | mean the
same kind of generic mod-
ern rock sound that has
made Days radio darlings
across Canada and the
United States. Not to say
that this album is bad, itis a
well written album with
poppy nuggets interspersed

along its length that keep

you humming along and tap-
ping you toes.

There are a few surpris-
es on this album too; at the
end of ‘Best of Life’ a rather
upbeat ditty, there is a brief
pause, then there is an
amazing orchestral piece,
complete with opera style
singing. It flows beautifully
into the next track, ‘Dirty
Road’ which is probably des-
tined for a radio edit and sin-

* gle status. ‘Dirty Road’ has a

lilting chorus that is both
catchy and intriguing to listen
to, something that most radio
singles lack.

ver The Edge Page 7

Days of the New is not a
complex or particularly origi-
nal band, but Travis Meeks is
a good solid songwriter, and
thankfully, this album is more
of a return to the traditional
Days of the New that we all
grew to love from their first
album, and lacks that weird
techo-acoustic experimental-
ism that Meeks was fooling
around with for awhile. This
outing by Days of the New is
a competent release, fun to
listen to, although it may not
become your favourite CD.
