Album Of The Day: Flyleaf by Flyleaf

Album Art of Flyleaf's self-titled album - Above some long, brown grasses as the bottom, a man is suspended in the air from the shoulders, it looks like, by two birds with strings hanging down to the person. The young man is looking down at the ground. In the top right, the band's name is printed in golden orange hues, with one golden orange flame extending above and below the band name.

Released 20 years ago next month, this is the first full-length album from Flyleaf. It's a quick 11 tracks of pretty hard rock, but quality songwriting and musicianship from this new band and great vocals from lead singer Lacey Sturm make this album memorable. Lacey's vocals are on the edge of singing and screaming, a few moments are certainly screaming. Some of the best songs on this album had been released on an EP the year before, like "Breathe Today" and "I'm Sorry". It's high-energy rock with a positive message. Honestly, this is one of those albums I loved at the time and don't listen to much anymore, but I liked giving it a listen today.
