Like the collaborative world Meyer embraces, Day One<\/strong>\u00a0contains a rich, diverse and dynamic landscape so vast it\u2019s impossible to take it all in at once. Clocking in just shy of two hours, the album is a cornucopia of sounds and styles. Arena-sized alt-rock anthems, bruised post-grunge rockers, brooding nu-metal ballads, pounding Sunset Strip glam-slam, energized electro-rock excursions, lush synthesizer ballads, even dashes of reggae-pop, funk and disco \u2014 they\u2019re all here, meticulously crafted and rendered with an arsenal of blazing guitars, thundering drums, grinding basses, and keyboards of all shapes, sizes and stripes. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to limit myself,\u201d Meyer understates. \u201cSome songs has a lot of synths \u2014 one song is all synths, actually \u2014 and then others are completely traditional rock instruments, guitar and drums. Every song is different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet somehow, it all hangs together, united by Meyer\u2019s soaring vocals and emotionally devastating lyrics culled from life\u2019s harshest realities. Look no further than the single Kneeling Scars, a hauntingly intense tale with a harrowing backstory. \u201cKneeling Scars is a song that a classmate helped me with \u2014 his brother committed suicide quite a few years ago,\u201d Meyer confides. \u201cHe got kind of messed up and took a really bad path in life. I wanted to help him but I didn\u2019t know how. We were talking on Facebook and I said, \u2018Let\u2019s do a song.\u2019 I like to help people and give back. But it really got to me. It was so intense that I started to cry while singing the vocals. I actually had to stop. I could have done the vocals better, but they were so emotional that I knew I had to keep them.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more where that came from. Other tracks on\u00a0Day One\u00a0<\/strong>deal unflinchingly with death, depression, the pandemic, greed, lies and betrayal \u2014 though the disc also has its share of light-hearted rockers, tender mercies and tales of hope and optimism. Whatever the topic and the approach, Meyer says the goal is the same, and simple:\u00a0 \u201cI just want people to listen. I just want them to think. If I can achieve that, I think I\u2019ve won.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
