I mentioned before I'd post more of Walter Meego. Not a single person, this duo consists of Justin Sconza the vocals/guitar and Colin Yarck, where both of them do keyboards. Well, this album has it's strengths and weaknesses, and completely by preference. There were some songs I couldn't get enough of, then there were others which I skipped over. That is the main reason this album got a '7' and I think if you like soft synthpop, you'd probably give this an album an eight instead. There were two types of songs; the fast paced very electro songs and then the slow pop songs. I guess they were really going for variety in this album, being their first true debut album, it was probably a good idea to test the water.

Forever is probably one of my favorite songs from this album, the first I heard from Walter Meego. It's got the right mix of electro and pop. I loved Girls, something about how this song was made. Even before I listened to this song, I could sing along to it. If anything, it was a very natural song as synth as it was. I had this song stuck in my head the whole day, one of their catchier songs for sure. Somewhat similar to the two songs, Wanna Be a Star took a similar approach except it's almost completely pop. As the album goes on, it changes a bit, somewhat more towards electro and also slow tempo pop songs. Lost is an instrumental track that I really liked, a sign that this album was taking a different turn. Letting Go reminds me of Chromeo. Out of all the slow songs which I mostly gave 2-3, Baby Please is the only one I liked. It's only slow for a bit as well. I included Girls and Wanna Be a Star for you to get a taste of Walter Meego. My favorite song Forever has already been posted in a previous post. Overall the album was enjoyable, it could have done without the slow tracks.
