333 have released their debut album which just so happens to be self titled. This album has a mix of genres in it, followed by a 33 second electronic song between each track. Here we have a band that isn't quite sure what they want to do or what sound they want to have so as being a young band, they don't have their sound sorted. This makes it hard to pick out similar bands to give an idea of what they sound like. They have done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to just an okay standard. The album has a bit of a raw and in the back feel to all the music here. It just needs some better overall recording to bring it up just a notch. On the instrumentation side, it's not bad but could use a more, but as it is just a two piece, they do quite well. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals here are not bad, they seem very like all the other alternative artists, it just has no uniqueness to be able to say it is one artist over another. With the lyrics, the band seems to choose very typical topics to sing about, such as girls and living life. They also sing about not looking at what could and live in what is. Not bad lyrics. 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 the album. 333's debut album is one that we just couldn't grasp as it seemed to go all over the place in genre and we just couldn't get into the jazz. We hope to see what is next though. Now they just need to get out there and bring the music to people. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
