::: Weatherbox returns with a quite bit of snark and cheekiness :::
::: that makes Flies In All Directions that much more :::
::: interesting to absorb. Is it their most gripping musical :::
::: outlay? Nope. However, it just may be their most all-round :::
::: effort ...and more so, it's the one that surprises the most, :::
::: sonically. Brian Warren really throws fans for a loop with :::
::: the band's most catchy and singalong record to date but for :::
::: lovers of American Art, rest easy because the musical :::
::: direction is one that pays neat homage to the old days while :::
::: evolving into something simpler. Simpler but much more :::
::: progressive, which Warren's lyrical narrative highlights in :::
::: spades here. It sounds good and most importantly, feels :::
::: organic and synced up with their growth. :::
::: :::
::: It's packed with the typical start-stop riffs, distorted :::
::: guitar bends and angular hooks that make a Weatherbox album :::
::: but a lot of the tracks take time to roam out of the :::
::: sandbox. The pop-punk tunes like "Pagan Baby" and :::
::: "Kickflips" bear a familiar sound and don't really shirk :::
::: that much if you were addicted to "Armed to the Teeth" and :::
::: such, but then, Warren mixes things up with indie-pop :::
::: constructs like "Bring Us The Head of Weatherbox" - which is :::
::: just one of a few shots at critics of the band. Warren :::
::: responds to cynics in a manner that isn't bitter at all. In :::
::: fact, embedding the sarcasm into a record that takes from :::
::: sub-genres of twinkly indie-rock, pop-punk and alternative :::
::: plays neatly off Warren's light vocals and timely falsettos :::
::: of "ooh oohs", especially on this track. They take the time :::
::: to meticulously and smartly integrate the openness and :::
::: wandering rock-feel from The Cosmic Drama. And it pays :::
::: dividends, subtly but still, it does nonetheless. :::
::: :::
::: Specks of screamo, their old emo vibe and even aggression at :::
::: intervals add timely spice to a record in which nothing's :::
::: overdone. It's well-balanced amid the nodes of :::
::: experimentation and shades of eccentricity which Warren's :::
::: musical vision loves to explore in measured drops. "Bathin' :::
::: In The Fuss" is a nice synth-pop swing of the bat to :::
::: highlight this. Warren also finds time to factor a lot of :::
::: acoustic tempos, which we all know he wouldn't shy away from :::
::: to keep you connected with where they were then, and where :::
::: they are now. "The Devil and Whom" brings out a Brand :::
::: New-vibe and it's ironic, because quite a bit of the album :::
::: also sounds like Taking Back Sunday in their :::
::: mid-transitional states. Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra :::
::: guests on this to further expand on the religious themes :::
::: teased at by the band. Some metaphors are a tad ambiguous :::
::: but some aren't as obscure in an album that has an overtly :::
::: mature lyrical direction. I didn't expect it to be this :::
::: profound, even with such a musically laid-back and :::
::: straight-forward sound. :::
::: :::
::: The album is a bit longer than expected and not as compact :::
::: as I would have liked. But despite a shift-up in sound, the :::
::: new roads dug out by Weatherbox are littered with elements :::
::: of the old trails. Makes for a fun listen and I'm optimistic :::
::: Flies In All Directions will put them back on the map. It's :::
::: not too intricate but still daring a move on the band's :::
::: part. Recommended. :::
