Thousand Young have released their second album which is also self titled. This happens to be just an EP though. The band has an indie punk sort of sound, with screaming vocals mixed in. They have a similar sound to that of an Every Time I Die, or a Dead And Divine, so if you like either of those bands, you could really like this album. They have done a pretty good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has a pretty decent quality to it. The instrumentation is not bad either here, the band can play, and the sound is good, although they aren't going to blow you away. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are done nicely. The vocalist can both sing and scream, while still being clear enough to understand all the words. He has a solid voice and does well on this album. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs about politics for the most part. They talk about society and what is going on with the people who make choices for the little people. We feel a lot of people can get behind this, especially in the time we live in right now. If you are looking for a single, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Thousand Young have made an EP that shows a little different side of the band. These are also the bands last song which they decided to bring out for the fans. We feel the band did a pretty good job here. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Thousand Young have released their debut self titled album. This album is one that really has a dirty, distorted, rugged, grungy sound to it like what a garage rock band would sound like. They have done an alright job on the album though. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been made alright and it does have that sound you are looking for in grungy garage rock. The bands instrumentation on this album is again average but solid. Now onto the vocals and the lyrics, the vocals are what you would like to see in a band going this direction, so that is nice, while the lyrics could use a little work to get more powerful meaning into them. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick any song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Thousand Young have done an alright job on their debut, welcome to album and it is nice to see a band trying this style to make it work. Hopefully though with a little bit of progression they can get something that can appeal to a wider audience. We hope they can also get out there more and play shows to get buzz out. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about it.
