 EmbraceThis New Day Release Date 2006 06 06 Label Independiente Rating:  This New Day makes perfect sense as a follow-up to Embrace's breakthrough album Out of Nothing. While it could be argued that no song here tugs at the heartstrings quite like the previous album's Chris Martin crossover &"Gravity," Richard and Danny McNamara and producer Youth once again offer a heady, steady stream of songs that qualify simultaneously as anthemic ballads and stadium stompers. Whether dealing with the original release or the limited-edition re-release that adds the band's official theme to England's World Cup effort &"World at Your Feet," it's a lively, energized affair geared toward uplifting the masses. Songs like &"No Use Crying," &"Target," &"Celebrate," and the epic &"The End Is Near" typify the Embrace attack of motivational lyrics and driving, jangly tempos, and should appeal to fans of Out of Nothing's hit single &"Ashes." Though England failed to capture the World Cup, &"World at Your Feet"'s "it can be done" message added positive vibes to the effort. Inserted early into the album's running time, it makes the pacing a bit uneven as the more upbeat tracks taper as the album closes, and there's a somewhat jarring transition into the funkier &"Sainted." Had England won the Cup, &"Celebrate" could have been the victory song, making This New Day an even finer sports soundtrack. &"I Can't Come Down" slows things a bit, leading into ballad territory, and the remaining tracks turn up the psychedelic guitars and rock a bit harder. This New Day is an excellent companion to Out of Nothing, with only a slight drop-off in quality. [In addition to &"World At Your Feet," this limited edition includes a 30-minute DVD documenting the track's creation.] Tim DiGravina, Rovi |
