"Can we please take this hours and talk about"...Dog Problems, The Format's new CD, is the perfect collection of summer songs. Matches is the first song and starts off sounding like a carnival. You almost instantly feel like you should be sitting on a ferris wheel and eating cotton candy. Each song has a different sound as well as having a complex sound. The Format successfully experiments with different sounds for each song. As the CD progresses you are introduced to the sounds of instruments such as horns, saxophone, and piano. Dog Problems is full of emotions, life experiences, and also a bit of making fun of the current music scene, "All the girls post the girls post the same four pictures, all the boys got the same girls hair...”
Dog Problems is an up and down account of the things that Nate Ruess and Sam Means, mostly Nate, dealt with for the past two years. With everything from relationships to issues with records labels wanting that hit to be written. It is obvious that Dog Problems is a 48 minute therapy session that everyone can understand and possibly even relate to.
Dog problems is one CD that you will not get bored with. Whether you are looking for good, meaningful lyrics or fun upbeat music, you find both with this CD. So go buy yourself a copy.
