Awolnation

        Awolnation is a band mostly known for their song, "Sail". It is an electronic-alternative song that incorperates synthetic instruments with natural and original instruments. Awolnation is an electronic-rock band consisting of five guys.
        When I first heard "Sail", I thought it was alright, definently catchy, but it wasn't my favorite. After a few more times, I fell in love with it. The intensity of the beginning really starts the song off on a good note. It keeps a heavy feeling throughout the whole song, but I don't think it is a bad thing. It is one of those
stress-reliever songs that you listen to driving home from a rough day at work. Or you could listen to it trying to get pumped up. I will tell you, I ride horses and for horse shows, we have to get up at four am and drive to the barn. This is the only song that really gets me awake and pumped for the show. For some reason, it is really motivating and it makes you (or just me) want to win and knock everyone out of my way.

       
        So back to my point, when I first heard it, I was so excited for their next album/single. But when it came, I was definently on the more disappointed side. The next song I heard from them was "Not Your Fault". The beginning is okay, not too impressive. But the chorus killed it for me. I really did not like it. It just sounded like they were half screaming/half talking with some autotune. I was so disappointed in it because "Sail" was so good. But after probably two months of hearing it, it started growing on me to a point where I actually don't mind it. There is one part I really love in this song. I think if they had revolved the song around the sound right at this moment it would be better.

This love found us
now I see it.
This love up down.
Please believe.

          So after hearing "Not Your Fault", I wasn't really into Awolnation anymore. Until I heard "Kill Your Heroes." When I first heard this song, I had no clue who it was. Then one day on iTunes, I was trying to find some new alternative songs I liked, and when I saw a song by Awolnation, I clicked on it. To my amazement, it was a song I had previously heard and really loved. The song has a really great flow and I love how they did the chorus. It was really suttle, the opposite of "Not Your Fault."

       
        So once again, Awolnation has my attention and I do look forward to some more of their songs. Whether they are good or bad, we will have to find out.
