Title – For Baltimore

By – All Time Low

Ok so All Times Low’s last album “Dirty Work” wasn’t as good as their previous albums and it wasn’t entirely their fault they had a ton of major label pressure from Interscope.  But now that the band are back home where they belong with Hopeless Records they are sounding better than ever.

Their upcoming album “Don’t Panic” is due to be released on October 9^th 2012 and the two singles that have already been released sound like some of the best song that the band has ever written. Personally I think that they give of a Green Day vibe, lyrically in “Reckless and the Brave” and musically in the acoustic intro of “For Baltimore”

“For Baltimore” starts off with Alex’s vocals being quietly delivered along to the strumming of an acoustic guitar. The song deals with a guy who is trying to tell the girl he likes how much better life in the city and life in general in better when they are together. This is one of my favourite songs that they have ever written, it’s up there next to “Remembering Sunday”, you can really tell that a lot of thought was poured into the writing of this song. The band perfectly capture the spirit of desperation as he tries to pour his hear out to this girl.   

Musically the song sounds like a step forward from the brilliance that was “Nothing Personal” and as much as I love All Time Low, I will just take “Dirty Work” as an awkward bump in All Time Low’s road. The guitars are strong and the vocals are excellent and not autotuned to hell like at times on the last album and it sounds like they were all on the same page when it came to making this song.

We love this new All Time Low track but we want to know what everyone else thinks, leave a comment below telling us what you think of their new song “For Baltimore”
