Long-delayed return of soft rockers
Vertical Horizon first attracted my attention with their 2000 release, Everything You Want. It was melodic, well-written and pretty uplifting soft rock music. Their follow-up album, Go, didn’t really register at all. Burning The Days takes more queues from the softer side of this already soft band, mixing the competent melodies with catchy tunes. The only problem is that they aren’t quite as uplifting as they used to be. The songs are good, but they come across a little more shoe-gazing that I would have liked from this band.
If you want something to chill out to, or to listen to with a girlfriend who’s scared of anything even remotely heavy or ‘hard’, then Burning The Days should fill the role.
