The brand new Plan White T’s album ‘Wonders
Of The Younger’ has been delayed for many
months now but has finally just hit the shops and
I have to say having a review copy for the past
few months that all Plan White T’s fans are
going to be impressed and realise that the album
has been well worth the wait as it is a proper happy
sing-a-long album from start to finish.
The album opens with ‘Irrational Anthem’
which opens with really chilled out vocals and then
moments later a marching band style set of drum
beats come in and the song blasts into a full on
melodic sing-a-long tune that is going to stick
in your head for a very long time, the song has
future hit single written all over it and is bound
to be a fan favourite at the bands live shows. ‘Boomerang’
is a bit of a laid back love song which hits all
the right notes and has all the elements of a classic
Plan White T’s tune.
‘Welcome
To The Mystery’ has a bit of a Tim Burton
circus freak show style feel to it and it’s
even easier to understand why when you realise that
the song was featured on the ‘Almost Alice’
compilation album which accompanied Tim Burtons
‘Alice In Wonderland’ movie, the song
is quite laid back sounding but at the same time
it is also quite eerie and generally freaky yet
mysteriously sounding.
‘Rhythm Of
Love’ is the first single that the Plain White
T’s chose to release from the album and in
all honesty it is the perfect song to promote the
release of the album as it is such beautifully laid
back summer sounding song which everyone from the
UK needs right about now to take their mind off
the media obsession with the snowy weather that
is currently surrounding us, so good timing guys.
The biggest stand out tracks on the album come towards
the later part of it with a triple whammy of standout
tracks which consist of ‘Our Song’,
‘Airplane’ and ‘Cirque Dans La
Rue’. ‘Our Song’ is a cleverly
written song which has obviously been written for
the fans so they can have a massive sing-a-long
at the bands shows and it seems to have paid off
as I have shown off the loser inside me by singing
the song over and over again many times in my car
as it is seriously that melodic. ‘Airplane’
is quite a mysterious sounding song where frontman
Tom Higgenson really gets to shine with his vocals
over the acoustic sounds of the song. ‘Cirque
Dans LA Rue’ is the best out of the three
songs and it reminds me so much of Panic At The
Disco! When they were good and relevant, anyway
the song is about a massive circus freak show and
about having a party in the street and the music
that goes with it also sounds very much like a massive
carnival is coming down your street.
The album closes with the very mellow title track
‘Wonders Of The Younger’ and it is the
perfect closing moments for such a diverse sounding
album.
When Plan White T’s started creating ‘Wonders
Of The Younger’ they said that they wanted
to create a diverse album that on the first couple
of listens you never knew what was coming next and
that is exactly what they have done as the album
features 14 classic tracks which are so different
from each other yet still all have the potential
to be a hit single.
5/5
