Album of the Week - I Wish We All Could Win

   Posted by: WhiRL   in Music

Now it may seem that I am not much of a ROCKER but actually I’m a great fan of great rock!!

Here is a rock album I stumbled upon by chance. I was on a cd shopping frenzy upon the Doulos ship. Originally known as Blisse but changed their name when they realised there was another band having the same name, this album ‘I Wish We All Could Win‘ was their first major album and rightfully so. I love it!

I got this cd for a mere RM 5 brand new and I was overjoyed because I would have payed a full RM 40 for it if I had to. It has a blend of cool rock plus some rock ballads. Apparently more than one person in the band sings because I hear different voices in the cd and it makes it so much more delightful.

The arrangements are pretty straightforward but the catchy hooks in every song is pretty addictive. I recommended it to some of my youths and they were hooked on to it as well.

My favorite song in the album is ‘Beautiful Love’. This song was even made a theme song for an MTV show.

All in all, this band has talent. I can’t wait to get my hand on their latest albums which are unavailable in this country (ridiculously) so this is a must get! It is sad all the good music seems to not make it here but all the Hillsong albums are everywhere like a plague ahahhaaa…jk jk
