The Way It Was

The rock band Parachute has had a great debut CD release in 2009 titled 'Losing Sleep'. Together with their sophomore CD release 'The Way It Was', the band has build up great expectation for their fans with the first single "Something To Believe In" & as well as the band playing some new songs before CD release including "Break My Heart For Me" & "Square One" which are surprisingly not in this new CD. 'The way It Was' CD has a great rock sound, beautiful clear vocals, great compositions & a wonderful production. This great CD (9 tracks) opens with "White Dress" : a great rock track with great vocals & melody. Other great tracks include "You And Me", "Something To Believe In" (a great first single/video) & "American Secrets" (strong beautiful drums, track has a great first part, getting better in the second part. The title of this CD is from the lyrics of this great longish track). Solid tracks/gems/stand-outs are "Forever And Always" (a beautiful ballad with inspirational lyrics, great vocals & melody), "What I Know" (a wonderful track with great guitar chords, melody & harmonies. This is my favourite track from this CD), "Kiss Me Slowly" (a slow-tempo track with beautiful guitar & melody. This song is composed by the popular multi-award winning country music band Lady Antebellum) & "Philadelphia" (another slow-tempo track with wonderful guitar & low-pitched vocals). There is no weak track in this CD. On overall, this is a great CD release by the talented rock band Parachute, they have certainly landed safely on firm ground, a highly recommended CD listening.

This CD was way better than I expected. I am a more recent fan of the last year. I gave in and decided to buy the by the CD only knowing a few songs and it was worth every penny. There was not one bad song on the entire CD and was children appropriate. My four year old daughter is now starting to sing their songs. We have not taken it out of the player since we received it. This is a must purchase. I am excited and can’t wait for the 2 other I have purchased to arrive.

I enjoyed Losing Sleep and picked up The Way It Was based listening to tracks on Google Music. I found the album to be very good overall and I like it quite a bit. There are a couple of tracks that aren't really to my taste, but almost everyone can find a couple of tracks on almost every album. I would especially highlight Forever and Always, What I Know, Kiss Me Slowly, and Philadelphia as favorites, so you know where I'm coming from. A solid pop record that is very enjoyable.

Five star for the music, but I received a cracked cd case, I sent it back and got a replacement and when I opened the package, the new case was cracked....in the same place......... Like I said, 5 star for music, but poor quality packaging.

I can't quite remember how I came across Parachute's CD, but I've really enjoyed listening to this CD for awhile now. It's a pretty eclectic mix of various alternative/pop/rock medleys and jams. A talented ensemble of musicians; all-around enjoyable listening. Great music to add to any collection.

I bought this CD for my fiance for her birthday, but I didn't know who the band was. After listening to the CD, I was surprised as to the quality of the CD, musically, and also the quality of the recording. Parachute has a good rock sound, with great breakdowns and little stuff to fill the gaps. In my opinion the whole CD is great, but here are some highlights: #3: Something to believe, Kiss me Slowly, and You and me. Check out parachute for some good rock and great breakdowns.

Happy with product

I was planning on buying "Something To Believe In" but when I saw the album was only $5.99, I listened to the previews of each song and decided to buy the album to listen more. I LOVE THIS ALBUM. Every single song on it. I listen to it everyday, and if I don't get my Parachute in, I get cranky! Love, love, love it. =]

Have learned to really like this cd. Have it in the car at the time of writing.

Brilliant album, love it more than their debut. If you're a fan of Parachute's older songs, or any soft alternative, indie or pop rock bands, such as The Maine, All Time Low, or The Script, buy this! Came fairly quickly considering it was a US import and I live in the UK.

Good

Great band, under rated! buy, listen enjoy.

These are an amazing group. If you don't buy another album get this one. It's the best ever. Gotta love Will Anderson Xxx
