The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- Don’t You Fake It

Posted August 4, 2006 — in Reviews

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- Don't You Fake It (Virgin Records)If I could only use one word to describe The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus’ major label debut it would be “relevant.” Not many albums come out these days that can cross demographic borders without some level of selling out, however ’Don’t You Fake It’ does so with a professionalism beyond the young band’s years. Strongly rooted in power pop, but certainly not oblivious to other genres, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus have created an impressive album of hook-laden rock, leaving even the most jaded critics hard-pressed to find error. The band jumps from arena anthem to mainstream radio hit to power ballad to a nearly 8-minute prog-core epic without missing a beat or breaking a sweat. This album hits on all cylinders, musically, vocally and lyrically with David Bendeth’s production pulling out the absolute best in front man, Ronnie Winter’s composition. The public and critical response since the release of ‘Don’t You Fake It’ has been overwhelmingly positive, promising a very bright future for this KOAR alumn. (4.7/5)

  2. These guys are really great. They have an abundance of positive energy, great lyrics, and kickin’ guitars and drums. I’ve been around awhile and heard alot, and The RJA still come out in the 99th %. I went to 3 stores before I was able to find the last CD on the shelves, and I’ve listened to it for the last 4 hours straight. It’ll be in my car CD player tomorrow so I can continue to listen. I hope they’re around to enjoy for a long time to come.

  8. the album is starting to grow on me… yes it is relevant- but i’m not sure if the hooks are THAT powerful. some bands that do both well are parramore and between the trees.
