With its gorgeous production, catchy up-tempo beat and clever lyric, The Wake Up mp3 stands in stark contrast to the rest of Story of Year’s tunes on their latest album The Black Swan. Wake Up is a good choice for a lead single because it has an infectious quality that should serve it well with the MTV set. You kind of wish that more tunes on the album had the same uplifting quality.
SOTY hovers somewhere between emotive radio rock and hard driving metal — and one wishes they would stick with their heavier inclinations because that's where they sound best. Still, the band does an admirable j ob of distinguishing themselves in the hyper-crowded screamo scene where every band kind of sounds the same.
