Review of “The Business of Making You Move” by Crash Coordinates

The Business of Making You Move I recently did an interview with Crash Coordinates, and now have the chance to review their new EP which is set to be released November 17th.

The band has a pop-rock sound and catchy songs.

The album starts off with the song “In Circles” (which you can listen to on the band’s Myspace). “In Circles” isn’t the most upbeat song on the album, but it’s sure to drag the listener in.

“The Scandal” is possibly the catchiest song on the album, and will definitely stick in your head for a while. While listening to “The Scandal”, I felt like I was listening to a Fall Out Boy song, and I think I can safely say this is my favorite song off the EP. For fans of Crash Coordinates, you might recognize the melody from this episode of CCPOV. :)

I think it’s kind of funny that “A Goodbye Song” is the third track, not the last track. This song is one of the more upbeat songs and features some pretty sweet guitar riffs and occasionally some keys in the background fromVincent Liou who provides the piano, synth, and percussion for the band. There’s even a really awesome guitar solo. This song makes me want to dance.

“Falling For You” is a kind of slower song, and much like “The Scandal” makes me think of Fall Out Boy. I really enjoyed the lyrics and a short guitar solo. This is definitely a love song I’d want sung to me.:)

“Use You” starts off with a bang. The song is also very catchy and a little edgy. Overall, “Use You” is an pretty good choice to close the album and features an edgy guitar solo towards the end before finishing with a short riff.

If you like pop-rock bands like All Time Low, The Maine, and Fall Out Boy, then “The Business of Making You Move” will make an excellent addition to your collect. I myself loved Crash Coordinate’s earlier release “Ansible”, and I have to admit, “The Business of Making You Move” seems more mellow and not as exciting, but is still a great album.

I would give “The Business of Making You Move” 31/2 out of 5 stars.

Now go preorder the cd!
