Five Iron Frenzy - Our Newest Album Ever! 320

Well first post for my new blog. Five Iron Frenzy is a Christian Ska band. They broke up in 2003 but rejoined last year (2011) and are now recording for a new album. This album is considered by many to be their best album and for good reason. The band has a more refined sound than their first album (Upbeats and Beatdowns). The songs here are very well executed having the very fun side that FIF is known for while at the same tackling some issues that the band has faced as being a Christian band and how difficult supporting their beliefs while also reaffirming their own beliefs on some songs in particular "Every New Day" (my new blogs namesake). On the other end of all the seriousness is the song Oh, Canada that has some fun with the stuff Canada is best known for by non-Canadians like William Shatner and "slurpees made of venison" As a whole this album is excellent beginning to end. A passive listener will enjoy it for its inherent quirkiness, while a more serious listen will give some incite to the problems the band has faced with their faith and the music industry. Even if you aren't a Christian (of which I am) you will still enjoy this album unless you're intolerant and would hate it for what it represents instead of any musical merit in which case go away.
