Into the Rush - Aly and AJ Michalka

RATING:3.5/5

ON THE COVER
Let's start with the cover. Aly looks uglier in the picture. She's a beautiful girl. I think there should be more light. AJ dosen't do well with the shadow effect in the cover. They didn't blend. If they are singing punk/rock songs, they're outfit in the cover has to be punk-ish or should show more attitude. Adding flowers was not a good idea as well. Rock songs and flowers just dosent mix. The font works (Aly & AJ) but the "Into the Rush" was not nice.

ON THE SONGS
This album is a little rockish type. There are some tracks in the album wherein the songs became "over-sung". There is no order with the songs. Rock in the first, then mellow in the second, and back to rock in the third. There's no order with the song. It's a good thing Aly and AJ have good voices. This made the album work for them.

BETWEEN THE LINES
The songs have good messages in it. I like the formation of the songs. It shows emotion at the same time it delivers a good message in it. Some of the tracks tell a story which is good. And a lot of the songs are easily remembered.

MUST HEAR
Rush - track 1
Something More - track 4
Protecting Me - track 11
Do You Believe In Magic - track 13
Walking on Sunshine - track 14
