Hold My Life - Lughead
Rating: 7/10

Lughead is a great local band. I had a chance to see them live and got their record soon after. It was definitely worth it. This is their first album since they've been signed to Ignition Records. The album itself has a slower beat, as a whole, than what I'm used to. Some of songs are catchy and just make you want to sing along but others are just sad and mellow. "You're Still Around" is a great acoustic tune which sounds very different from the rest of the album. This cd takes some getting used to. When I first heard it, i didn't really like it, but now i think it's great. "Whatever Makes You Happy" and "Closet Door" have a more rockish beat to them but they still have a great sound.

This album is just practically perfect. It's not overproduced, to experimental, or even to diverse. It is just a great album. If you just feel like relaxing, mellowing out, or just jumping arond this album will make you do all three.
