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.)
