Album Description
JUNE have cemented their reputation as one of their genre’s most infectious and exciting bands. Causing quite a stir in their hometown of Chicago, the band joined VICTORY RECORDS in early 2005 and released their stellar debut, If You Speak Any Faster to incredible acclaim. In the past 2 years, JUNE has evolved from a road conquering, meat-n-potatoes emo-pop outfit into an ambitious and creative rock machine. Their new album Make It Blur is quite simply a pop-rock masterpiece. The new record shows immense growth in the band, which will open more doors and bring them to a bigger playing field. Make It Blur takes their signature crunchy guitar-rock and blends in pop melodies with some severe arena-sized hooks. Make It Blur will satisfy fans of ALL AMERICAN REJECTS and MAROON 5 just as much as the fans of FALL OUT BOY and THE FRAY. Make It Blur is poised to be one of the most cherished rock/pop albums of the year.

Customer Reviews

They have definetly made it blur...
There are very high points on this cd, but the equal lows really leaves a bad impression on this cd.

My main complaint are the moments when they truly made their sound 'blur.' By 'blur' I mean that the sound makes your brain go blank because of the boredom or predictability. The first track is not even listenable, ad the most devasting moments are the Backstreet Boys-esque 'girl, where'd you go' moments. "Machine and the Line" has some really cool moments, but when the synth comes in, they stop sounding like a rock band and more like a computer generated band. I love high production value in an album, that is not my problem, but this doesn't even sound professionally produced. Synth used correctly is really great in this style of pop rock, Reggie and the Full Effect or The Postal Service have shown it has a place. "Your Shadow" will make you think of junior high love songs, and I don't think it is possible to think of that as a compliment.

"Swallowed" "Tempter" "Closer" & "A Taste" are really poppy, good Jimmy Eat World like rock songs. How good these songs are makes me even more bitter about the other half of the cd being so off.

Suprising
I first heard June at a Victory Records tour with Bayside, A Day to Remember, and others, they were impressive live. I bought the CD at the venue and it has been through my CD player more than a few times. I'm not sure who to compare them to although i'm sure a lot of people will compare them to Fall Out Boy, being that they have two lead singers and are from Chicago. It is a very good rock album, upbeat and fun to listen to. "I'd Lose Myself" is my favorite song. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Victory Records or punk-pop in general.

Definitely give this CD a try
I picked up a CD after seeing these guys perform live (great live show by the way) and can definitely say that this is a band on the rise. As mentioned in the product description, this album covers a range of different influences, but June somehow pulls it all together to create a unique sound. Each song has its own feel, and I agree that the album as a whole lacks a cohesive meaning, but there are some big hits on this CD that make this album worth buying. I am a 22 year old with a huge music collection and Make it Blur is still one of my most listened to albums. My favorite song is Closer (how can anyone not like this song?),
