MY THOUGHTS ON THE EARLY NOVEMBER:
The Early November is a Jersey band that got it's start back in 2001. Early on, the band dropped two EP's that quickly generated lots of buzz around them. 2002's "For All Of This" and "The Acoustic EP". Armed with a fresh deal with Drive-Thru Records, The Early November dropped their debut album "The Room's Too Cold" in 2003. In 2006, the band dropped a three disc concept album called "The Mother, The Mechanic, And The Path". Peaking at #31 on the Billboard 200, this would be their highest charting album. In 2007, the band decided to go on an indefinite hiatus. Luckily, in 2011, the hiatus was over and in 2012, the band released "In Currents". In 2015, the band dropped "Imbue". 2017 saw the band release "Fifteen", which was a compilation album of reworked older songs celebrating the band's 15 year anniversary. 2019's "Lilac" finished the band's deal with Rise Records. In 2022, The Early November signed on with Pure Noise records to release "Twenty" and in 2024, the band dropped their most recent album, "The Early November". The Early November is like a pop punk/emo type band. They kinda have a soft or mellow vibe to their music. Vocalist/guitarist Ace Enders has a keen ear for great melodies and weaves his vocals through the music perfectly. While The Early November isn't one of my all time favorite bands, I do enjoy a lot of their music. I was really impressed with their 2012 album "In Currents". That may be my favorite album by the band.
