Redeye Empire CD Review from The Pier!
Vancouver’s Redeye (Empire) has returned with a slight name change and a new album, The Diary of Everett Miley. Who the hell is Everett Miley you ask? Well after listening to it multiple times I still have no idea. I assume he is a real guy cause he gets thanked in the credits at least. I even googled his name in case it was some famous Canadian guy I never heard of. No luck there either.
Anyway back to the music itself. It pretty much rocks. Redeye Empire has delivered an album that is bound to be a consistent crowd pleaser. If anything the band may be accused of trying a little too hard, particularly on tracks like Why Can’t I See You Tonight? The track is so over the top and ‘born for radio’ I am sure that fellow Canadian’s Nickleback would have been jazzed to have written it. However, it’s Redeye Empire’s ability to balance these more commercial (and enjoyable) moments with more restrained songs like the fantastic Babylon and the frenetic ska stylings of Youth be Tough, that make a pretty captivating and well-rounded album.
One of the band’s most popular songs from its debut album, Stumble makes a re-recorded return here and is a nice reminder of what a great summer time song it really is. For maximum carefree music effect Redeye Empire has also recruited the busiest producer in 2007 - Chris D (also worked on albums by G Love, Slightly Stoopid, The Expendables and The Movement) to assist on a few tracks, with the most effective results being the previously mentioned Babylon and the funky Walk Away.
The Diary Of Everett Miley is probably the first album released during the New Year that is worth checking out and investing that surplus Christmas cash from the grandparents on.
