Black Veil Brides Album Analysis

Although I have been a fan for a good amount of time now, I have never been 100% sure on what genre of music they fit into. Some people say they are a rap-infused high-tech pop duo (Fred Thomas). Others will say they are piano-driven schizoid pop (MTV). One article I read mentioned that when creating their album Vessel they wanted to make something that combines elements of hip-hop, indie rock and punk (Fueled by Ramen). With that in mind, you will never know what to expect if you are a first time listener. You will find yourself rapping quickly at one point and then suddenly singing along slowly with the accompaniment of a ukulele without even realizing the change.

The fourth song is called Know your enemy by Green Day. I picked this song because this song resembles to Holden and Stradlater physical relationship. Holden always call stradlater a phony and they were punching each other, they show so much hatred toward each other. Now they become enemies.

One of the biggest records of this album had to be Young Ricky. The piano draws you into the track like you’re being hypnotize. The track is smooth and melodic that it makes you feel like summer party is about to break out . It makes the listener invoke his inner Ric Flair and scream “Wooo” while listening to

“They were as influential in that decade as the Beatles were in the prior one. Their impact extends to classic and alternative rockers alike. Then and now, Led Zeppelin looms larger than life on the rock landscape as a band for the ages with an almost mystical power to evoke primal passions”. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (No

It was the year 1929, and the oldest discovered piece of ancient sheet music was inscribed on a stone tablet unearthed in a Hurrian ruin near Lake Van, Turkey. The lyre piece, translated from Hurrian as “Princess Atyah’s Song” was then transcribed and interpreted by modern string aficionado Michael E. Levy into a contemporary rendition at an Ancient History symposium in Chicago. It was perhaps an ill-fated decision, to take something filled with some much sacred potential, and bring it into the modern realm without abandon. Levy performed the piece in front of an audience of a baker’s dozen archaeologists and music historians in a small rented venue nearby the symposium’s main venue. The next night, everyone that had been in attendance

An African folk groove enriched with wha-wha infusions, vibraphone melodic inspiration, and eccentric soprano drives are keys to turning “Life is Limitless” in an elated celebration. This rapture is disintegrated, giving its place to a radiant spirituality, when the following track, “Universal Harmony”, begins to spin. This tranquil prayer, a true moment of inspiration, acquires further elasticity when the drummer reinforces the triplex kinesis reserved for the improvisations.

7. “Metrorail Thru Space” brings the album down for a bit, with slightly more ominous chord progressions, and a choral-style collection of “bum bums” that echo sonorously over the disco-like drum beats. The track definitely chills you out, despite the upbeat tempo and galactic synth runs.

The fourth track is “Social Disease”, which was written by Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi. This up tempo song has guitar riffs and the drums and keyboard arrangements make for an awesome listening experience. Sometimes it is hard to tell if the sound is coming from the guitar or from the keyboards, but the layering of sounds makes this a true rock song. After the final verse/chorus, the instruments keeping playing, the chorus is repeated, and then an outro is performed by the instruments to end the song.

"Enter Sandman" is the opener of the album with a clean start of a eerie guitar with a side effect of wah-wah accompany. The whole basis of the song picks up with drums on the toms and snare varying each other. When you first hear this opening, you realize this is so different to their early work it is quite interesting how the outcome will be. The outcome is extraordinary with James' vocals lower than normal and music is in a different style. The only similar touch to the song is the electrifying solo that is excellent. The bridge is very effective with James praying with a child which really goes with the music. The rhythm of the guitar carries the song along till the end. This was a great release and possibly one of the best on the

These songs make up the bulk of the album. This is where Alice and Bernie really flex their songwriting muscles because of how they are actually able to embody the characters they are writing about and bring these people to life. The way they are able to tell a large story in such a short amount of time takes talent that few have; it was great that Cooper picked Taupin to write with him on the album. No one writes lyrics the way Taupin does, and the reason the album is so good is because of Taupin's writing ability. The song about the spoiled little rich girl in "I Wish I Was Born in Beverly Hills" shows how clever they can

"For you, for me, forever more" performed by Morgan King, in my opinion this song repeats itself from the other love songs, still great performance by Morgan King. "Who Care's" the title for the song speaks for itself, im getting slowly disappointed of the first cd, the songs basically repeat themselves, same themes (mostly about love), same kind of instruments used in each song.

“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band:” Just a quick track to introduce the album. It’s got a lot of interesting sound effects and beats going on in the background. Just a funky way to kick off the album and I’m a fan.

The album seems’ to be a repeat of the same catchy tunes from the first album “Bad Blood” but with some additional songs added to it. Best to buy the second Album unless you're a collector, and just hope that future additional albums have newer original songs on them. If this is a sign of what is to come with this group then their fame may be short lived once the catchy tune where’ off.

Three songs from the album stuck out to me—tracks two, three, and seven. More commonly known as “Omen,” “Holding On,” and “Magnets.” The first song, “Omen,” features Sam Smith while the brothers, Disclosure, provide the almost seductive keyboard track that Smith takes control of, incorporating stimulating vocals while narrating a story that conveys the analogy

The drastic difference between the three sections feels rushed and incomplete - certainly something that Guided by Voices is familiar with, but the strength of their greatest albums allows these incomplete tracks to hide behind the bigger songs. The stretch of songs between "A Good Flying Bird" and "Closer You Are" on Alien Lanes, their greatest album, showcases their abilities to sequence their throwaway tracks in a manner that enhances the songs as much as
