Album Of The Day: When I Was Younger by Colony House

Album Art of Colony House's When I Was Younger album - A photo of a young boy sitting in front of a gray-ish white wall. Only seen from the chest up, he has a denim shirt on and looks fair-skinned with curly, red hair. He looks to be only 3-4 years old and has a fairly blank expression and is looking directly at the camera. At the top, above the boy's head, the band's name is printed in large, white letters. The album title is printed over the photo in smaller white letters across the bottom.

Released 11 years ago today, this is the first album from Colony House, the band I've seen play the most times live in the last 10 years. Some fans consider this their best album, and while it set the bar for this rock band pretty high, I like their newer albums even better. If you're looking for rock, it's here with "Keep On Keeping On" and the "2:20" jam, among others. Slower, heartfelt songs like "Waiting For My Time To Come", "Learning How To Love" and "Moving Forward" about, and they point to the band's desire to connect with fans and speak honestly about life's struggles. And I consider "Lose Control" one of those epic closing tracks, though it's not even 5 minutes long. It's a beautiful debut album and the band has become even more of a rock 'n' roll band since then, while also losing none of their heart. The deluxe, 10th anniversary LP version includes a second LP of rarities, remixes, new orchestral versions, and more with a lenticular cover for the ultimate fan of this album.
