Is Day26’s “Forever In A Day” Album Hot? Find Out What We Think!

Posted in Reviews by Zay | Tags: Day26

Day26 is back with their new album, “Forever In A Day”. The album drops next week, but check out our review now!

“Just Getting Started”: The group proclaims, “Welcome to The Greatest Show on Earth”, well one thing is for sure “Making the Band” isn’t the greatest show on Earth so hopefully this album is. We did enjoy the last album so let’s see if we can say the same about this album. As the hook says, “We just getting started started”…the album is just getting started, but is the group? Seems like they might not even make it to another. This track is pure filler at its finest. Opening with filler, not good. Come on Day26! EarStyle.NET Rating: 2/5

“Imma Put It On Her ft. Diddy & Yung Joc”: It’s Bad Boy! Day26 is joined by boss man Diddy & label mate Yung Joc on their official first single. Just one question, why isn’t this getting any play? It’s catchy and the production is pretty tight! Oh, but Diddy could have been left off of this. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3.5/5

“Shawty Wats Up ft. T-Pain”: Sounds like your typical T-Pain production. Of course it comes complete with Auto Tune. The group asks shawty what’s up and what’s it gonna be, while bragging about popping bottles and setting your average club scene. Ehhh….okay. EarStyle.NET Rating: 2.5/5

“Think Of Me”: Soon as the beat dropped I thought of Bobby V and I just knew this was a Tim & Bob production. Nice & laid back, what I kind of expect from the group. The group tells their ladies to think of them, because they are the only that can satisfy them. Not bad. EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“Stadium Music”: Everyone is coming with a little rock edge these days. Day26 follows the trend on this hot track produced by B. Cox. “My love is like Stadium Music/Put your whole body through it”, all yall concert goers know that feeling. Must be something serious! EarStyle.NET Rating: 5/5

“Bi-Polar”: A lot is going on with this track, but at the same time it’s not too bad. Vocals are cool, but don’t really have too much to say about this one so let’s just give it a grade. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3/5

“Perfectly Blind”: Cool breezy feel to the track. I’m really feeling this one right here. It drags on a bit, but it’s tolerable. Earstyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“So Good”: This track is giving me vibes from the first album. Definitely a good thing! It’s not too much going on, and the production is very subtle and the showcase is on the vocals. I really like this one. EarStyle.NET Rating: 4.5/5

“Girlfriend”: “I Need a Girl…Girlfriend”. You hear that ladies? Day26 and your boy need a girlfriend, so hit us up! LOL, but the track is cool. It’s not really overwhelming or underwhelming…I really like the chorus. That’s about it. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3/5

“Babymaker”: Look at the title and I guess you can pretty much guess what this one is about. If you still don’t get it Day26 can help you out, “This is a babymaker”. This one is pretty dope. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3.5/5

“Then There’s You”: Nice track. Enough said. EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“Need That ft. Jermaine Dupri”: Oh a club track! Taking us to Baltimore (and Philly!) with this one! I literally had a smile on my face when the song came on. This one will be in heavy rotation by default! I definitely did not see this coming. On the flip side, this track is a little cheesy and it really does not offer much, but who cares? I don’t. EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“Reminds Me Of You”: This kind of has an old school feel to the harmonies and all. I can see this one coming on while you are cruising on a sunny day with a little wind. Yeah, this one is smooth. EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“Your Heels”: Jazze Pha? Where you been and why aren’t you helping out Ciara? Back to Day26, this is filler material. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3/5

“Truth Is A Lie”: Sounds familiar. EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

So here’s the final verdict: From the tracks that previously leaked and that did not make the album, I definitely feel like some of the other tracks should have made the final tracklisting. The album isn’t bad at all, it just doesn’t have the standouts like the first one did. There’s definitely improvement, but nothing is my new “Come With Me”, “I’m The Reason”, or “If It Wasn’t For You”. Hopefully, they do some numbers with this one so Que can calm down a bit!
