Review - Houston Calls - The End Of An Error

Houston Calls - The End Of An Error

View The Review

6 out of 10

Produced by Mark Weinberg, The End of an Error is the follow-up release to the full-length debut, A Collection of Short Stories. The songs possess expressive lyrics and the easy hooks and melodies that the band has become known for.

The End of An Error is a great big shiny record in terms of its top notch production and stands out for fans of McFly, Hello Goodbye, and other pop rock acts.

There are a couple of tunes that stand out on the album - Life Won’t Wait, Things Are Happening and I Fancy Abroad immediately spring to mind. In fact there is something Muse-esque about Life Won’t Wait at the start. Being a giant metal-head, there isn't much here for me, but I can see what makes these guys popular as the main theme of the album is dealing with difficult times and not giving up and I guess that's a decent message for the teenage market these guys are clearly aimed at.
