The Junction have released their latest album titled "City Nights." This album has been a long time coming, and the band has been pretty quiet. as of late, so it was a surprise to see the band release a new album. This album has a very Indie and rock feel to it, just as many of the other Junction albums have had before. They have that feel of a band like Born Ruffians or a Hidden Cameras, they have a light hearted, fun vibe at times, and a real indie feel too, so if you like that kind of music, you could really like this album. They have done a pretty good job on this one. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a fairly decent quality. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are pretty on par with the bands other efforts. The band does seem to be doing a bit more of a quiet, light and airy vocal style here, which is a bit different from the other albums. You can certainly hear his voice and get the lyrics as well. With the lyrics, the band goes for lyrics more about hitting the bottom, love, find out about yourself and more. This seems to be showing that the singer has hit a rough patch in his life. We hope he gets back to the good times. All in all, pretty good job. If you are looking for a single, give the song "Who Am I" your attention, as it is the best song on the album and gives the best idea of the rest of the album. The Junction have made a pretty different album than we are used to hearing. This isn't something we are used to hear, with 80's synth tones added to the music. We hope the band can regain the following they once had. This band needs to get back out there and get people to remember they are still around. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Grievances, the third album from The Junction is a continuation of the style and sound that the band has established their career on. This sound is a lighter rock with indie mixed into it, and it does sound pretty good from these guys. When you look at how this album was recorded and the quality of it, the band has done a pretty good job here. This album has a really solid sound and the instrumentation has an alright feel to it as well. If you look at the vocals, the singer can sing and his lyrics are pretty good as well. If you are looking for a single for this album, give the song "Monuments" your attention as this song has a really good light indie vibe to it and it also shows you what the rest of the album sounds like. This album is one that they have done a good job on and puts the bands ideas and music further into your mind on how they do things. With some steady playing and just beating it out, hopefully this band can rise back up and get the momentum they once had. Listen to this album and decide if you like it for yourself , and make sure y ou follow what this band is up to, they really are decent.

7. Level With Me

The Junction's first album since departing ways with Universal Canada is something that makes you understand why Universal dropped them. The band hasn't made a bad album here, it's just not catchy. Nothing here stand out, nothing seems different, and right now, there are a hundred different bands doing the same thing out there. They have made a decent album that you should give a shot, but nothing is going to hit as whoa when you listen.

The Junction's major label debut album is one that is sadly disappointing. Other then the song Components Of Four, which is a re-recording from their previous album, nothing really stands out. You can listen to this album from front to back, loose interest, and then say, oh its over. That being said, this band is still great, and they do have something good going on here, so don't give up on them. You can take it or leave it with what I said, but make sure you check out the album and make your own opinion about it.
