Billboard album review:
THE STARTING LINE - Direction
Producer(s): Howard Benson
Genre: ROCK
Label: Virgin
As denoted by the title, "Direction" finds the Starting Line exploring a new route with its music, which in this case translates to a thicker tone and beefier production compared with the band's energetic pop/punk past. The title track opens the album with a smack of revved-up dueling guitars, while "Are You Alone" and "Island" both swell with layers of texture and hazy guitar work. Lyrically, there's likewise an attempt to reflect the band's maturation, with songs about finally being of age ("21") and the occasional clever play on words ("There seems to be no difference between present tense and a pretense"). As with any pop/punk/emo/ screamo band, die-hard fans will find plenty to eat up here. As for the naysaying unconverted, there are quality bits worth taking note of, but be warned: "Somebody's Gonna Miss Us" contains a reference to an Ace of Base lyric. — Jill Menze
