“Drowning In What I Believe” is the second release of A Day’s Work.
You can read more about their debut album “Above And Within”
here.
They certainly have grown a lot since that first album. First of
all, the production is a lot better. The tracks sound more mature,
both in the way they are played as in the compositions.
From
the first track you feel the energy and the emotion coming out of
your speakers. “Here I Am” certainly has hit potentials. As on the
first album, the vocals of Paul are excellent and they sound even
better on this CD. In the slower, higher parts, he sounds a bit like
Jeff Buckley.
In “From Where I Stand” he gets assistance by a yelling Michiel
Rietveld and it takes some time to get used to this extra explosion,
but after a while it integrates well in the sound of the band.
“Who
Will Save Us” starts as a semi-ballad, but soon evolves into
another outburst of energy.
Although “Around My Head” is only a short track, it has a big impact
as a composition. Once I got to know this track better, it became my
favourite.
There’s also a multimedia section, with videos (in which you can
admire their energy on stage or some acoustic performance in their
living-room), bonus tracks, photo galleries, a biography and tabs
for their songs.

The
musicians are all very skilled and they form a closer unity than on
the first album. A Day’s Work is a fast growing band, although for
us progressive music fans, they grow in the wrong direction. It’s
probably the right direction for them, because they are very good in
what they do and I must admit, I really like what they do. And as
often said, does the style matter if you like the music? |
