:BoySkout - Fantastic: Leslie has some really great vocals and I love how accessible they are throughout this song. I mean despite my love for all female vocalists I think some have such powerful vocals that they over sing and in turn are more of something that you listen and don't sing-a-long too. Luckily Leslie doesn't sound that way and for me she is the highlight of the song. This of course is not to take anything away from the band who are pretty great in their own right, I especially love how they are taking a sound that isn't exactly original but they are making it their own and I really like how it feels like a refreshing take on the genre.

- Everybody Knew:
The first time I heard this song I knew that it would be a guilty pleasure
song for me and this was before I had made it through the whole track.
I love how different this song feels in comparison to Fantastic and I
especially love how the band is obviously capable of changing it up and
sounding pop or anything else they want, when they want. Sometimes you
don't have to reinvent a genre to be great, you can take the BoySkout's road
and just be really good at what you do, it also doesn't hurt if you bring on
a Producer like David Schiffman who has worked with The Mars Volta,
Johnny Cash, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This song is lovely and I
highly recommend that you download it.
