The Higher - On Fire

What hap­pens when you take Panic! At The Disco and tell them to emu­late Back­street Boys? You get The Higher. Their album On Fire is amus­ing to listen to, at the very least. You can’t take this album too seri­ously, and if you’re look­ing for deeper mean­ing or an answer to one of life’s mys­ter­ies, just keep walk­ing. If you feel like danc­ing to some­thing with a solid beat and like pop-​ish music? This album is a must have for your very shal­low, expen­sive shelf.

This cd has a lot of hip-​hop influ­ence, no matter how much the band may or may not deny it. At least three tracks have clap tracks, and more then one has what I call “thug beat.” I’m not saying these are totally hor­ri­ble traits as it is nice to see a better mix of the genrés then Fall Out Boys last thing. I don’t know how many times I could listen to this CD before get­ting utterly sick of it but I’m get­ting a real kick out of it. It’s like lis­ten­ing to the light rock sta­tion, but with some pop punk emo.. some­thing blended in.

I have to give spe­cial men­tion to the last track of this album: Pace Your­self (Patrick Strump Remix). The first track is a fairly typ­i­cal remix, but my god, if you keep lis­ten­ing for the “hidden” track… well that’s where it truly shines. I cannot explain how much of the boy­band aspect I was talk­ing about shows through on this track. It’s totally and com­pletely a per­verse boy­band song. with Lyrics such as “I’d rather make you come than go” and “as I shed off every other inch of your clothes” it is easily one of the dirt­i­est tracks on my iPod. It’s not bla­tantly smutty, but it’s just so dirty. It’s fantastic.

It’s a fun album to listen to, and worth lis­ten­ing to at least once, if only to pick your favorite tracks out. It’s got some­thing for everyone.

8/10
