The four Aussies that create The Vines released a new album this year called 'Winning Days' It's a psychedelic mix of folk songs and edgy rock. With the release of 'Ride' in late December 2003, a new follow up album buzz followed them to March. The follow-up album to their hyped up debut 'Highly Evolved' doesn't seem to cut it with some of the fans but true fans picked up the album. According to many people, this too is another sequel that doesn't live up to the original.
'Ride' - A simple guitar beat pushing the song along while Hamish performs an awesome drum solo toward the middle.
'Animal Machine' - A dark, maybe evil song. There was some speculation of this being the new single in the States, although it never happened. Fans feared it would be shot down for sounding too much like Nirvana.
'TV Pro' - A futuristic type of song. Lyrics are short and to the point which is a different style of Craig's. You can hear the distortion kicking in during the chorus.
'Autumn Shade II' - A sequel to the original on the debut. While the original is more indie rock, this contrarily is acoustic with bird calls at the end.
'Evil Town' - Another short song and one song I like to skip on the CD player because of the metal influences. Metal really isn't my thing.
'Winning Days' - One of the greatest Vines song recorded. It's too wonderful to describe in words.
'She's Got Something To Say To Me' - Sounds like a retro pop song. It's ok but it can drive you nuts. I hope The Vines never do something like this again.
'Rainfall' - In the dead of winter when all the weather is doing is raining, this song gives you confidence that you will see the sun again. The drum beat is subtle but really sets the tempo.
'Amnesia' - The drums start slowly then the guitar kicks in and the vocals begin. Remembering where your sanity is, is always a good thing.
'Sunchild' - An early demo, this song is another great one. A sweet guitar riff begins and the drums are accentuating it.
'F*ck The World' - Intriguing bass line and swearing everywhere. (Don't let the parents know you have this) Craig said he means it in a sarcastic way. Sure!
The Vines are truly a unique band but this album doesn't cut it unless you are a true fan and don't care. It's a good album and its really worth the money but I would suggest buying the debut first or the debut instead.
