The instruments got me hooked on this song, even the guitar riff in the beginning and before the verses is unique and unlike anything I have heard before. This talent makes him one of the best drummers in the genre. “Texas is Forever:” The drums in this song are one of the most crucial parts of this song because drummer, Mike Fuentes, is able to play faster than most. Lyrics that express lost love: “Don’t mean to break your heart/Pull the pin out of my heart.” Do not be intimidated by the length of it, it is one of the best opening songs on a record that I have heard in a long time. It is so different than the others because it sounds like there are different songs in this one, however, it stills comes off to me as a PTV song. But it was this opening that made me realize I was going to love this album, without even listening to the rest of the song or any others. “Dive In:” After listening to the beginning 25 seconds of pure guitar, I already was in love with this song. Most of vocalist Victor Fuente’s lyrics seem to express lost love. However, this is not the case every song on this record is so well crafted, catchy and still holds onto that something that makes listeners know that they are listening to a PTV song.Īlthough PTV’s lyrics are complex and could have multiple meanings, I noticed there is a theme of love and losing it. Because the wait was so long, fans were worried that the record would not live up to the standards PTV indirectly placed on themselves with their three previous releases. Loyal and even new fans of Pierce the Veil (PTV) have been eagerly awaiting another release after their well-received 2012 record, Collide with the Sky. Their formula is still an enjoyable and expansive one, so if you liked any of their previous releases, chances are high that Misadventures will still give you a chubby enough times to make a worthy purchase.Album Review: Misadventures | Pierce the Veil
Pierce The Veil may have reached that Plateau level in their career, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. “Dive In” kicks off the album with some pounding builds and flowing structures the single, “Texas Is Forever”, is standard flare, but a blast “Floral & Fading” plays like a seductive mistress “Gold Medal Ribbon” is fused with anthem-like moments of energetic pop and alternative cool-downs and “Song for Isabelle” closes the record with soothing swoons and a familiar and powerful lyric granted to us by Travie McCoy ( Lazarus, “Akidagain”). There aren’t really any surprises here, which begs the question do we now know what can be expected of Pierce The Veil? Still, this issue aside, Misadventures features some truly wonderful moments throughout. However, the album doesn’t actually take any new chances itself Misadventures doesn’t leave you feeling blown away or thoroughly impressed. That being said, the new collection definitely does some right by borrowing from PTV’s entire discography, bringing forth the youthful and sometimes mystical-sounding angst of A Flair for the Dramatic, the ambitious writing of Selfish Machines, and the explosive excitement of Collide with the Sky. There aren’t too many groups doing this genre justice anymore, so perhaps Misadventures has even more riding on it than just the expectations of longtime fans. Not only does it have Collide with the Sky to live up to, but the scene has taken fair hits in popularity in the past few years. There’s been a four year gap in between Pierce The Veil releases, making Misadventures an important record for the band.
