Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice
Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice is the ninth studio album by alternative rock band Starflyer 59. It was released on April 12, 2005 by Tooth & Nail Records.
Its sound is very different from the band's early work, which was characterized by loud guitars and a "wall of sound." The album includes string arrangements on several tracks and a trumpet on the song "Easy Street." Most of the album has a relaxed attitude, except for the song "Good Sons," which has an upbeat, dance-like sound.
Critical reception
Exclaim! wrote: "Making above average, semplice rock for 12 years, Starflyer 59 haven't really changed much." Paste wrote that "the vocal monotony truly is a shame because Martin’s compositions are often warmly seductive."Personnel
