Uplift have released their second album titled "Making The Most." This album is one that really shows off the band and their very typical hardcore punk style that they showed off on their debut. This band has quite a similar sound to that of Expire or a Knocked Loose, if you like those bands, you could really like this album. Uplift have really improved here between their first and second album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, it has been recorded not too badly, obviously it could use a little work, but it sounds nice. The instrumentation on the album isn't anything to boast about, but they can play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are a little bit to be desired, but they are somewhat clear and it does really go with style they are trying to sing. Unfortunately we are not into that high pitched, whatever singing that is though. With the lyrics, they hit on what the typical hardcore punk bands are singing about and kind of hit that need for a change route on this album. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of this album. Uplift have made an album that really brings them along in their career and it is nice to see. We hope to see more out of this band and get a little more refined sound in there. Not bad overall. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
