BROKEN
SONG
REVIEW
“Broken Circuit” is the second single off of The Word Alive’s thrid full length album Real which is due for release June 9th in Europe and June 10th in the United States through Fearless Records. Real will also be the first album to feature Luke Holland on drums.
The single was released May 13th via Fearless Records’ YouTube channel. It sound very much like something we would hear on their second album, Life Cycles. There are electronic elements and in certain parts dub-step like beats and drops. The ‘dub-step’ parts seem to sound a little out of place and awkward; they don’t take away from the song, however they don’t add much to it either. It’s incredibly different from the first single they put out “Play the Victim”. I’m hoping on Real they’re going for more diversity; Tyler “Telle” Smith did claim that they would be doing a few things differently, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens!
