Hailed as “the Braveheart of YELLOWCARD albums” by Indulge-Sound, LIFT A SAIL is proving to be both a musical rebirth for the band as well as another critical-acclaimed album that “is a true display of the evolution of Yellowcard as a band.” (Soundsphere).
More experimental and genre-pushing than they have ever been, the band unleashed their creative spirit and have gone louder than they ever had (“Transmission Home”, “Crash the Gates”), even more epic and anthemic (“Fragile and Dear”, “The Deepest Well”), instrumental (“Convocation”) and even stripped away guitars and drums completely (“MSK”, “California”). Guitar World calls the album “massive and majestic, full of cavernous drums and pile-driving guitars that meld with layers of deeply textured keyboards.” Kerrang even recognized the metallic sound, praising, “Air-violins at the ready, ‘cause the ‘Card are ripping it up.”
