Peace of Mind Review

On January 10, 2012, one of my favorite bandsRebelution, released their third album called Peace Of Mind. Hear is a song by song review of the tweleve tracks that the band produced.

1. Sky is the Limit -  The song is very upbeat in terms of the beat and the lyrics and could be considered the bands party track off Peace Of Mind. Rebelution encompassed a trumpet to lift the song to new heights and added a simple guitar solo. 8.5/10

2. Comfort Zone - The song has an overall up lifting feel which comes through the reggae sounding guitar. Throughout the song, it is very catchy and can be easily sang along too. 8.5/10

3. Good Vibes - With the help of Lutan Fyah, Rebelution added a very islander vibe to the song. The song has a positive message through the lyrics in which everyone can relate too. 9/10

4. Route Around - Overall, very different from the rest of the album and what Rebelution has produced before. The song gives off a laid back feeling. This is all done through the acoustic guitar and a soft beat from the keyboard player. 9/10

5. Meant to Be - Another guest appearance this time from Jacob Hemphill of SOJA, which adds a new element every time he is on a track. Hemphill adds essential background lyrics in the chorus and his verse is a nice change of pace. 9/10

6. Life on the Line - Starts off with a western type guitar intro and burst into the song with a dub beat. This song proves that Eric Rachmany can give off different sounding guitars. The western feel added with the dub beat makes this one of my favorites. 9.5/10

7. Closer I Get - One the slower songs off the album but still devlivers a memorable sound. The drums and keyboard add a very chill beat. Rachmany uses a soft sounding voice throughout and the harmonica soloadds a different element. 9.5/10

8. Lady in White - By far the heaviest song off the album done by a sick guitar rift and hard pounding drums. The guitar solo seems to be very synthesized and the keyboards add a new element to the solo. By far my favorite off the album. 10/10

9. So High - This song has been released before but Rebelution completely changed the beat and feel to it on this album. The song is the ulitmate chill song for relaxing and doing nothing. But I do like the old verision better than this one. 8/10

10 -12. Day by Day, Calling Me Out, and Honeypot - These three were not as memorable as the others. Day by Day is a typical sounds Rebelution song. Calling Me Out is dubbed out and uses a lot of trumpet. Honeypot is just alright because of the slowness of the song and the keyboard rift throughout. 7.5/10
