 The AftersNever Going Back to OK Release Date 2008 02 26 Label INO/Columbia Rating:  The Afters approached their sophomore release as if they had nothing to lose -- as if they were still undiscovered bandmates serving lattes at Starbucks in Mesquite, TX. In reality, however, expectations for the foursome following their landmark debut could hardly be higher. Their melodic hit &"Beautiful Love" had led them on an impressive run -- it was featured on MTV's 8th and Ocean and was /iTunes' most downloaded inspirational track in 2006. Combine that with their Best New Artist nod at the Dove Awards, and the band underwent a metamorphosis from unknown to unavoidable. Never Going Back to OK touches on this theme, suggesting that a similar transformation from ordinary to extraordinary is part of each believer's journey. The album, a cross between Switchfoot's The Beautiful Letdown and Sanctus Real's The Face of Love, adds a great depth to the Afters' repertoire with deeply palpable modern rock ballads like &"Oceans Wide" and &"Summer Again." But the core of the album is a steady dose of radio-ready rock, from the powerful essence of &"Keeping Me Alive" to the urgency of &"Tonight." Without straying too far from their roots, the Afters distanced themselves from the pack with this record. Jared Johnson, All Music Guide |
