										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York-based rockers </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Specialists</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> have just released their latest album &#8220;Hole In The Wall&#8221;, wherein they wanted to capture the essence of every city they toured in the past year. With many influences to inspire them, each song on this 9-track record has a different flavor to it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The opening track gives the album its name. It&#8217;s a funky number with buzzing guitar lines and complex bass riffs. I miss when rock bands used to have such present and stylish bassists like this. The use of airy head voice along with the drum line here might remind you of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Bee Gees</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> at first listen, but later on, you&#8217;ll realize it&#8217;s a lot more composite and multi-layered than that. The keys/synths and the technical soloing part in the song&#8217;s bridge give it a very futuristic vibe that I highly enjoyed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The second track, </span><b>Birdseye</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is a groovier and more dancy number with a futuristic keyboard solo and a shreddy guitar solo combating the drum and bass lines that will send you flying, and the powerful vocals &#8211; it&#8217;s basically the track where they show off all their abilities. I enjoyed moving and dancing along to this amazing song. The third track, </span><b>Why Do You?</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, has a very interesting arrangement, which consists of calm verses and an explosive chorus. The vocalist&#8217;s nasality and strong command of his mixed register. </span><b>Glass </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">is a longer track with slower and more extended verses, a great wah-pedal on the guitars, and as usual, higher vocals on the chorus. </span></p>
<p><b>Brave </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">is a nice and poppy mid-tempo number and it has my favorite chorus on the whole album. </span><b>Waste Time </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">shows some reggae-like percussions that made the vibes so different and versatile compares to the rest of the pack. Similarly, In my opinion, </span><b>Head In My Hand </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">has the potential to become very trendy once it gets highly promoted and reaches more people. It has 2 amazing and melodic guitar solos, so strap on for how amazing of a journey it is.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The eighth track, </span><b>Charade</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, has some of the most amazing bass work I&#8217;ve heard in my entire life, not just on the album or in funk rock (yes it&#8217;s that good). It also has a very memorable riff that will remain stuck in your head for days. The tenth and final track,</span><b> I Got You</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is very percussive/rhythmic and that makes it so memorable. The guitar solo here is amazing and larger than life. It ends the song (literally) on a high note. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In conclusion, this album maintains being an all-around funk and pop-rock banger while being sophisticated and balancing substance and style. I was amazed by how different and diverse today&#8217;s bands could sound like. So if you ever feel like testing something bluesy/funky then I suggest you listen to this beast of an album.</span></p>
