Review Promises - The Boxer Rebellion





The fourth album from the english band is here. As the name (again) says it all, this album is (at least a bit) full of promises.
The basic structure is still the same, great musicianship for post pop prog rock, aerial guitars and lyrics with very repeated sentences and chorus.
The single that starts the album is a good indication of the things found in this new album. The songs are still catchy

The very highlight is the very sad ballad New York that starts only in piano before developing a great multi drums rhythm that reminds of the Bronx bands.
This albums is very tainted in its lyrics by Love and relationships, or sadly the loss of relationship that gives a bit more of sadness and depth in the songs, as bear witness the great  ending and title track promises.
With Promises, the band delivers a good and solid album with many great songs. Definetly a step up from the previous one and a experimentation that I hope will help the band strengthened their creative forces to deliver with the next album a bit more than just promises.
