That's right. Clear Vision have finally released their debut record, titled It's Only Time (formerly known as The Nuns are Coming! and Crystal Clear). The band really excited that the album has finally been released after a long time.

"It's very pressuring to record an album, especially the debut record. I'm sure every musician will say that. It's all about your first impression to the public. I really think we got that. I'm almost positive this will be on everyone's shelves in the next 20 years as a classic." Blaine Johnson, frontman of Clear Vision had been in the center of media attention in recent news, with his band's first record out, the band's work on creating "the ultimate holiday single", as well as his meet with legendary pop diva Stephanie Fierce at her mansion, writing music. "Stephanie [Fierce] is...simply an amazing person! She writes music so calmly, and she doesn't let pressure get to her, especially in the rat race known as the music industry."

The album has gotten fairly positive reviews. When asked about the album's sound, drummer Ed Kerl stated that, "it has the true alternative rock sound many bands lack nowadays" and "there are guitar- and/or keyboard/piano-driven ballads, and there are some more lively tracks". Also, the band has stated that the album is a little bit darker than their expectations, but still find it a very lively and "dance-able" album, and you can still get a wide-smile from the album.

The band have decided to have a poll over what should be the next single. The three songs with potential are "Gravity", "Why Did You Leave Me?", and "Berlin".

"Gravity" is a smooth, quiet ballad, with an acoustic guitar taking the lead, the bass is very quiet, and drums are slow and almost unheard, Johnson's vocals being heard very calmly.

"Why Did You Leave Me?" is a major dance-synth rock song. A keyboard part that takes the lead, and Johnson's loud, but not yelling voice holds it all together.

"Berlin" is a a calm song, until it reaches the chorus. Up until the chorus, it's just a kickass bassline and a few drumbeats with Johnson singing dark verses, and once the chorus comes in, the guitar shoots in with a few hard notes, and it repeats again, until the last chorus, where it's just a hard-driving guitar solo.

Vote now!

Tim Dunn: Nice to see 90s inspired alt-rock is still around.
