Album Review: The Young Veins - Take A Vacation

For Ex-Panic! At The Disco's Ryan Ross and Jon Walker, The Young Veins is their new start but for some its a clear indication of where the 1960's influence from the former's 'Pretty. Odd', a record that I thought had its good moments but with too many tracks. 'Take A Vacation' has a very 60's pop influence, possibly too much.

Throughout guitars twang along with light, bouncy drums and simple, high harmonies. From start to finish you want to see the band develop their own identiy but time and time again you are let down, as it very quickly comes apparent the five-piece seem to be stuck in an era where the music was catchy, laid back and (somewhat) favourable but lacks depth.
