Company - Company 5
Review by Benny Mengesha
Company's latest album, Company 5, is a well-crafted collection of tracks that showcases the band's versatility and musicianship. The album features a mix of genres, including rock, pop, and country, and each song is a testament to the band's ability to write catchy hooks and memorable melodies.
The album opens with the upbeat and infectious "Good Times," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The song features driving guitars, catchy lyrics, and a sing-along chorus that is sure to get stuck in your head. Other standout tracks include "Heartbreak Hotel," a country-tinged ballad that showcases the band's softer side, and "Rockstar," a hard-hitting anthem that is sure to get crowds pumped up at live shows.
The band's musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with each member delivering impressive performances. The guitar work is particularly noteworthy, with intricate solos and riffs that add depth and texture to the songs. The vocals are also strong, with lead singer Mike Jones delivering powerful performances that are both emotive and engaging.
