{"product_id":"rocket-summer-men-angels-cd","title":"Of Men \u0026 Angels CD","description":"It can be hard to keep things sounding simple and catchy while retaining an arresting edge, but Bryce Avary pulls it off on his fourth studio album on which he also played all the instruments and produced (with ample help from CJ Eiriksson).  Like previous recordings, Of Men and Angels will inevitably get pegged as emo since the crux of the music falls closest to that category, but upon closer listen you can hear ‘90s indie-rock influences seeping in.  Avary has stated that he digs bands like Superchunk, Archers of Loaf and Jets To Brazil, which may account for why the triumphant \u003ci\u003eRoses\u003c\/i\u003e opens with melodically clamorous aplomb under Avary's high tenor, which recalls Michael Jackson in more soulful moments and Geddy Lee during the rocking parts.  Of Men and Angels's title was taken from a Bible passage about the necessity of love and each song resonates with uplifting and joyous themes.  \u003ci\u003eYou Gotta Believe\u003c\/i\u003e is an impassioned power pop song that's nearly impossible to get out of your head while \u003ci\u003eWalls\u003c\/i\u003e bares a balladeer who can smith a tune that's moving without being maudlin. - itunes\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: January 26, 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Island Def Jam Music Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 602527310701\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Rocket Summer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772307073,"sku":"The Rocket Summer (5)","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/products\/600x600bb_998e8c81-7f4e-4b88-8524-09247671f9b2.jpg?v=1471616228","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/rocket-summer-men-angels-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
