Walk The Moon - Talking Is Hard
Review by Success Prep
Talking Is Hard, the sophomore album by Walk The Moon, is a vibrant and energetic collection of pop-rock anthems that showcase the band's infectious hooks, dynamic rhythms, and playful lyrics. From the opening track, "Different Colors," with its pulsing beats and soaring chorus, to the closing ballad, "Aquaman," with its heartfelt vocals and atmospheric soundscapes, the album is a non-stop thrill ride that keeps the listener engaged and entertained from start to finish.
One of the standout tracks is "Shut Up and Dance," a catchy and upbeat tune that became a massive hit and helped propel the band to mainstream success. With its catchy melody, sing-along chorus, and infectious energy, it's no wonder the song became a fan favorite and a staple on radio stations and playlists around the world.
Other highlights include the funky and groovy "Work This Body," the anthemic "Portugal," and the nostalgic "Come Under The Covers." Throughout the album, the band's musicianship and songwriting skills shine through, as they effortlessly blend different genres and styles into a cohesive and cohesive sound that is uniquely their own.

Summary by Success Prep
Comments
TiH is undoubtedly meant to be just plain fun, and it does it well. There is nothing profound or thought-provoking on TiH, but it is catchy and fun. The music is upbeat with a varierty of mixed sounds, many computer-generated. "Aquaman" is the slowest song on the album, and it don't even feel that slow. "Come Under the Covers" is another slow one. "Portugal" has great electronic music, and has not gotten old after many repeat listens. "Down in the Dumps", "We are the Kids", and "Different Colors" are really fun, enjoyable songs with upbeat music. "Shut Up and Dance" has fun music, but gets old pretty fast. I don't ever listen to it by choice anymore. "Work This Body" is fun the first few times, but gets old. Pretty much all the songs on this album are fun, light, shallow love songs, with some strange, original lyrics and music. "Spend Your Money" has very strange lyrics and original music. It is fun and catchy, especially at the chorus. When all is said and done, Walk the Moon isn't trying to change the world with TiH, and I can appreciate that. They made an album that is very simply fun, and little else. TiH probably won't stand the test of time, but, right now, I really like it.

When my future kids ask me what the 2000's were like i'm gonna send them the link to this video.
This song would have been in heavy rotation in 80s dance clubs.
