"Crushed" was the first Collide song I ever listened to and after that I was hooked. Every song on Some Kind of Strange is unique and takes you on a trip you'll never want to come back from. I love every song, though I do have my favorites which include Crushed, Euphoria, Inside, Tempted, and Complicated. But I promise you, every song is worth a listen!
From "Transfer" to "Like You Want to Believe", i was captured, held hostage, and released from this album wanting even more! After first being exposed to Collide through "Some Kind of Strange", I was eager to get my hands on more of their music. That's when "Chasing the Ghost" came along and swept me away!
"Razor Sharp" became a quick favorite with the lounge-like piano playing in the background accompanied by kaRIN's sultry and fitting vocals. "Dreamsleep" is another favorite of mine. The song stays true to the title, leaving the listener, or at least me, in a very dreamlike state. Adding to your listening pleasure is the cover of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," a song I would never expect to hear covered by recent bands, and yet, it almost comes as no surprise being heard on this album. And the band pulls it off very well. As for the rest of the album, it is just as good as the first half. "Ocean" is another sweet-sounding track that will leave you relaxed and energized at the same time.
I consider both albums to be gems, a necessity for anyone who loves a unique and very different sound! What's even better is that the band offers both albums together at an amazing price in their store! What more could you ask for?!
