I consider The Winking Owl as a band of constant improvement. While not the biggest band in the JRock scene, they are one of the most solid. Their music gets better with with each album and you can tell that they put a lot of work into their music. They continue to show that with one of their latest singles, Try.
If there is one parts of this song I really like, it is the intro. I really like the melodic lead guitar playing combined with the heavier rhythm guitar. Yoma continues to display great guitar work in his playing. He isn't one of the fastest guitar players I have ever listened to, but his melodic style works very well and delivers guitar solos with a lot of emotion behind them. He is a musician driven more by feeling rather then displaying technique. The drumming in this song is also very good. Kent keeps a good beat and is very energetic. Luiza continues to display some great singing in this song. Her melodic voice is great and works very well with the inspiration feel this song is going for.
As far as the lyrics go, The Winking Owl continues their uplifting style. The song is basically about realizing your full potential and pushing to achieve it. The flow of the lyrics works very well and they communicate their message very effectively. Some people criticize them for not singing in English more like they did with Open Up My Heart. I do think that Luiza sounds good singing in English, but I'm not picky about language as long as it sounds good and is set for a good delivery, vocally. The lyrics in this songs do just that and it makes the feel of the message really stand out.
This song is very uplifting and has a good energy to it. If you are feeling down and need something to lift you up, or you want to feel inspired, then this is a song you need to check out. It has a good message and the melodic feel will put you in a good mood. If The Winking Owl continues to make songs like this, I see a great future for them. I give Try a 4.5 out of 5.
