Throw it away Forget yesterday We’ll make the great escape We won’t hear a word they say They don’t know us anyway Watch it burn Let it die Cause we are finally free tonight Those were the words from the song “The Great Escape” that launched Boys Likes Girls first CD //[|Boys Like Girls]//, which released in February 2007. With their record label Columbia Records/Red ink the rock band brought on a new tune and the lead singer Martin Johnson does not sound like every other artist which made the band stand out and bring on many listeners. They not only hit success with that song “The Great Escape” but also their entire album is strong with great lyrics, good vocals, and over all great music. They have become a fairly popular band, and can also be heard on popular stations such as Z100. Overall the band did a great job bringing them together and having an outcome this huge. They went from playing songs on pure volume to becoming a well known popular band. [|“The Great Escape”] has a catchy tune and fun, free lyrics. This CD is something that many teenagers have either bought or have on I-Tunes. [|“Hero/Heroine”], [|“Broken Man”] and [|“Five Minutes To Midnight”] are also other favorites in the CD and they have great lyrics and just make you want to get up and sing and dance like crazy. The great thing about the band is its original sound and lyrics that many, many teenagers and people in their twenties can listen and relate to. Boys Like Girls the way I see it, have promise to become something as long as they do not let the famous lifestyle affect their work ethics. They have a new sound and tune to them that bring them great attraction and it does not hurt to have a fairly cute band. I find that they are purely in for their music and put their own flair to what they do. I give them 3.5 stars; I love the CD and find them to be a great band. I also enjoy them because they are not just fakes pretending to be able to sing, they can actually play the instruments and the singer can actually sing which I give great respect to. The band worked hard to get to the point they reached and they most definitely should be receiving some awards for their talents. I enjoy their first CD and am anticipating their next CD to be something even better.
