Days Of The New frontman Travis Meeks is probably pretty sick of being told how much older he sounds on tape. Judging from the band's self-titled debut, the deep-voiced 18 year-old has apparently been brooding for a lot longer than he's been ... Full Descriptionshaving. He could send Scott Weiland and James Hetfield running back to their growling coach, while his lyrics explore youthful ennui with uncommon maturity.
"Solitude" moves from a spacey, angelic intro to a sinister vocal trade-off, while "Touch, Peel And Stand" juxtaposes attention-grabbing off-time accents with a slow, languorous chorus. Produced by Scott Litt (R.E.M), the sonic foundation of DAYS OF THE NEW is made up of acoustic guitars, close, double-tracked vocal harmonies, and a straightforward, powerful rhythm section. Guitarist Todd Whitener contributes acrobatic lead work, contrasting perfectly with DAYS OF THE NEW's slow, melancholic burn.
Recorded at Woodland Studios, Nashville, Tennessee.
Days Of The New: Travis Meeks (vocals, guitar); Todd Whitener (guitar); Jesse Vest (bass); Matt Taul (drums).
Additional personnel: Todd Smith (organ); Adam Turgeon (drums).

"Do The Evolution" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Short Form Music Video. YIELD was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.
Nay-sayers and trends be damned. Pearl Jam's follow-up to 1996's NO CODE continues down the path of aggressive rock and roll, existential musings and musical experimentation. This isn't your older brother's grunge. Opening with the hard-driving "Brain Of J," YIELD goes from a punky swagger representing man's arrogance in asserting his lofty place on the food chain ("Do The Evolution") to a free jazz approach and a disembodied Vedder vocal questioning the meaning of life ("Push Me, Pull Me").
Most of YIELD continues to ply ...

Tracks 1 through 12 are silent and are each five-seconds long. The album's track listing begins with number 13, "It's On!"
Like Fear Factory and a host of others, Korn combines streamlined metal with ominous industrial touches and an undercurrent of hip-hop rhythm. FOLLOW THE LEADER is an urban nightmare, as unrelentingly dark ...

The best of Wozniak's songs, the standouts on Marcy Playground's self-titled debut, not only evoke Nirvana's sound--heavenly, minor-key melodies, transformed ...

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Without question the best DOTN CD
The two best songs that Meeks ever wrote are on this CD and they're the first two tracks. These two songs are followed by two more songs that are almost equally as good.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Orange
Orange is the first CD from Days Of The New and I really love it.. but I honestly can't pick a favorite out of the three albums out. Stand out tracks on Orange, aside from the classics Touch, Peel And Stand and Shelf In The Room are Whimsical, Now, Solitude, Cling and Where I Stand. On most of the songs (But not Freak or Cling!), Travis is a bit more mellow then on the other two CDs, and the music is mellower too, focusing on acoustic guitar. But that doesn't mean this album doesn't rock! You just have to listen to Freak or Face Of The Earth to know that it sure does.
If I was forced to take just ONE album with me onto a desert Island it would probably be Green.. but you'd have to pry Orange from my hands first :) BUY IT!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No GREAT ALBUM MUST BUY!!
Everybody should buy this album. Everysong is well mastered, especially if you love guitar. Even though Travis is the only one left on the new CD, i'm sure it'll be as good as this one.
