Before I start, I want to apologize for the extreme lateness. This album came out last year and I promised myself I’d get around to writing it, but it never happened, and with all of the craziness last year, I just wasn’t feeling it much, but here it is.
American Rock trio Boyce Avenue from Sarasota, Florida is comprised of three brothers Alejandro Luis Manzano, Fabian Rafael Manzano, and Daniel Enrique Manzano. The band got their name after growing up on two streets that they lived on as children. Boyce Avenue was formed in 2004. Lead vocals is Alejandro, guitar Fabian, and bass, percussion Daniel. In 2007, the band decided to start posting youtube videos of their own original songs and covers. 2009, “All You’re Meant To Be” was released. in 2010, their full length debut album “All We Have Left” was released. Some featured songs include “Every Breath”, ” Broken Angel”, and “On My Way.” January 23, 2010, the boys signed with Universal Records. “Road Less Traveled” was released April, 2016. Several covers have been done, and are still currently being done as we speak. Now lets dive into the actual album shall we?
:Road Less Traveled” was released April, 15, 2016. I know I was highly anticipating this album for awhile because from the first full length album they did many years before I was hooked. One of my friends introduced me to these amazingly talented men and all this time I thought it was mainly one guy, but nope it’s three. Some of the songs that are my favorite are “Family”, “Cinderella”, “Your Biggest Fan”,”Imperfect Me”, and last but not least “Be Somebody.” Now just like everything else I can relate to lyrics better than anyone cause I feel like every song describes me in one way or another. “Be Somebody” stands out the most especially now because I know who I am and the person that I want to be. The second song is “Imperfect Me” because I have my imperfections, and I’m happy with the person I am. I’ve been through a lot in my life, and defied the odds every single time. I’m extremely lucky. “Cinderella” resonates with me because I’m myself and okay with the person I’ve become. 🙂 I feel like her a lot of the time lol. This album was better than the others. I love their covers they do because some artists can’t do them justice, but Boyce Avenue sure can. I’m not entirely satisfied with this, but give me your opinions and thoughts and tell me where I can improve. It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these. So I could use suggestions! 🙂
Music, Life, More 
Road Less Traveled is easily one of my favorite albums to listen to! It’s hard to pick a favorite but it’s a toss up between Be Somebody, Imperfect, or Lovely Mess. Great review, but I have a question. Did you think the entire album kind of followed a storyline? The track order to me kind of tells a story of finding love, long distance, losing each other and eventually moving on. Thoughts?
