Our Take

Album Review: MAKE DO AND MEND - Don't Be Long

In a world saturated with mediocre music, MAKE DO AND MEND return with their latest offering, "Don't Be Long." The Connecticut-based band have been in the game for quite some time now, and it shows in the maturity and depth of their sound on this album.

From the opening track, you're hit with a wave of nostalgia for the golden era of emo music. The heartfelt lyrics are delivered with such raw emotion that you can't help but be drawn in. The punchy guitar riffs and driving drums create a solid foundation for their gruff vocals to soar over.

But let's not forget the quirky, unexpected elements that MAKE DO AND MEND bring to the table. From the unexpected key changes to the occasional cowbell thrown in for good measure, this album keeps you on your toes from start to finish.

Tracks like "Fool's Gold" and "Begging for the Sun" showcase the band's ability to craft infectious melodies that will be stuck in your head for days on end. And don't even get me started on the epic closer, "Each of Us," which will leave you breathless and begging for more.

Overall, "Don't Be Long" is a triumph for MAKE DO AND MEND. They've managed to capture lightning in a bottle with this album, delivering a perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation that will leave you wanting more. Trust me, you don't want to sleep on this one.
