Hollowick have released their debut album titled "Beautiful People." This album has the same sound and feel that the band established when they were Rides Again, so it is a pretty familiar sound here. They have that regular radio rock sound that fills the airwaves, so it can hit a wide audience this music. Similarly they sound like artists such as Three Days Grace or Theory Of A Deadman, so if you like those artists, you could like this album. They have done a pretty solid job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty decent standard here. The instrumentation is not bad either, the band can certainly play, just nothing that is going to wow you in that department. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are done pretty well here, he has quite the style for alternative music and you can hear him quite clearly. His voice goes well with the music and he hits the right notes. Good vocals for this album. With the lyrics, they seem to go on that alternative style, messages of being brought down by fake people  and not fitting in. They also talk about relationships, and feeling better one day. These are typical messages for this type of music. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Timebomb" your attention as it is the best song on the album and really give you that feel of the album. Hollowick's debut album is one that seems to have everything here, it just doesn't seem to be able to hold it's own against all the other bands out there that sound the same. It's a decent album but nothing really wows on this album. Hopefully the band gets out there more. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
