So this post is,yet again, a music post. But I wanted today's to be very different from yesterday's by giving my review of one of my favourite albums: Tape Deck Heart by Frank Turner.
Ok so the albums like a year old? But it's one of those that I don't think will eve lose relevance to me personally, hence why it's still one of my favourites and why I wanted to bring it up. Now I know a few frank turner fans who aren't really that fond of tape deck heart for a few reasons; whether that's because they feel the likes of Recovery are too 'synthetic' sounding or because they don't like the heavier issues and lyrics of 'Broken Piano' and 'Tell Tale signs'.
For those of you who might not have have heard the album before the album includes;
Recovery
Losing days
The way I tend to be
Plain sailing weather
Good and gone
Tell tale signs
Four simple words
Polaroid picture
The fisher king blues
Anymore
Oh brother
Broken piano
The deluxe album (the one I have) also includes the tracks:
We shall not overcome
Wherefore art thou gene Simmons
Tattoos
Undeveloped films
Time machine
Cowboy chords
So admittedly you could argue that tape deck heart is a lot different from the likes of 'love ire and song' and 'England keep my bones', and I'd have to agree, there is a difference between the two. But isn't that the idea? To keep growing as an artist? Personally I loved tape deck heart just for the openess and vulnerability behind some of the heavier songs on the album, particularly 'Tell Tale Signs'. The song itself is beautiful only added to by the vulnerability of the lyrics. If you haven't heard it before I'd definitely recommend it, in fact I'd recommend the whole album and I'd love to know what you thought of it.
Well that's about it,
