7/26/09 - MUEN MAGAZINE REVIEW OF "THIS IS REAL LIFE"

Macavity of MUEN MAGAZINE reviewed THIS IS REAL LIFE and had some VERY positive things to say about M.E.
My Evolution has produced a CD that is nothing short of fresh and exceptional with “This is Real Life.” Combining an obvious commercial musical appeal and clever lyrics that often have a seemingly double entendre make all eleven tracks a delight to listen to many times over. However commercial they may seem at first listen they are distinctly individualistic and outstanding in their sound.

Solid performances of guitars and drums mixed stunningly well with the clean vocals make so many of the tracks stand out as incomparable. They definitely have the rock and pop influences covered and add in an almost intangible edgy quality to all their tunes. This is especially true when having guest vocals as they do in two tracks on the CD. This edginess is particularly upped with the inclusion of Wayne from Static-X on their first single, “So Happy”, who brings out yet more of a metal side of rock on this great melodic track. Skillful use of electronic elements make “Here Today” and “2+2=5” obvious standouts on the CD for their ability to fuse those clean vocals and amazing instrumentation along with programming to produce tracks that implore to be placed on repeat. Worth mentioning is a cover of Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World” that is stellar in the manner that the band made the song their own musically yet kept the best elements from the original composition.

My Evolution has put forth a CD that defies a genre and brings something new to the rock scene that has indeed evolved rock to a new century with a witty new sound. It is captivating and creatively made music that seduces you to buy and listen often. This is just the first of many developing musical delicacies yet to come from My Evolution.
