And now The Script is hits with Six Degress Separation's single a song about the real-life romance vocalist Danny O'Donoghue.
The process of working on this album lasted more than 2 years where the album was completed in June and was released on September 10. The Script is one of the most consistent bands in releasing albums where the distance between albums from first album to 3 is 2 years even for the third album was released exactly 2 years after their second album which was released September 10, 2010. With a consistent distance is this, is The Script still able to produce a quality album like 2 previous albums? What new thing does The Script offer on this album? Let's look together.
Looking further into the album contains 10 tracks for the standard version and 17 tracks for this deluxe version, all songs in this album are still written and produced by The Script itself just like the previous two albums so freedom The Script in the work is still guaranteed in this album.
The album was opened by a song called Good Ol 'Days. This is a rock-style The Script songs and we can already feel it from the first seconds of this song started. With lyric storytelling as well as powerful instrument based, this is a suitable opening song describing the overall content of this album.
The next song is "Six Degrees of Separation" which lyric telling about the state of post-separation. Opened by acoustic guitar accompaniment combined with the clang of the piano, the structure of this song is a bit reminiscent of one of the hits from The Script entitled 'Breakeven'. For those of you who like the type of song and lyric like this, then listen also to the song titled "Glowing". The next track is the first single from this album "Hall of Fame" where on this song The Script invites Will.I.Am to collaborate. The main strength of this song is the catchy piano melody from Danny and its very inspirational lyric which reminds us to always be confident and not easily give up. The next track is a song titled "If You Could See Me Now", an emotional song where the lyric tells of the departure of a father and again the power of this song is on the piano melody played by Danny. If you are bored with a song that expresses love between men and women then listen to a song called "Give The Love Around", an upbeat song that tells about universal love. For the standard version of this album closed by a song called Millionaires but for the deluxe version there are 2 extra titled Moon Boots and Hurricanes where the intro quite unique by putting the sound of rain. There is also Hall Of Fame (Original Version) where the part Will.I.Am sung by the guitarist Mark Sheehan and 4 live tracks.
Overall, The Script returned to produce a quality album and this album still features the characteristic of The Script with the piano melody that became the main weapon as well as the lyric that tells the story. In terms of chart, The Script managed to maintain his performance by always bringing his album to the top of the Irish chart like 2 previous albums. In UK this album peak in position 2 to the present and single Hall of Fame had become number 1.
