A great opening track, that really helps set an incredible tone for the rest of this album, with heavy guitars and powerfully driven rhythms coming at you left, right and canter. Making this track a perfect introduction to an album of pure goodness. Mountains is the second track on this album with a catchy beat and powerful vocals this track is differently one of the stand outs on this album for me keeping you drawn in with each different level this track has to offer it isn’t any wonder why this incredible album reached number 5 on our charts Pray is the 3rd track on this album there is nothing I like more than the sweet sounds of an incredible riffs at the start of a track and Pray has just that with uplifting beats to follow help carry this track even the entire way through.

The only other thing I can add to this track to sum up just how amazing it truly it really is …show more content…
This track is for sure yet one of those others I’d love to see played live. If you didn’t buy the deluxe addition of this album then I’m afraid Limbs will be your last track but I promise you will not be let down. This Track is filled with plenty of great riffs keyboards screams vocals and much more with Jens vocals on point like always. Closer is the first of two for those of us that have the deluxe album as this track opens we are greeted with the most beautiful elegant string section I think we have heard on this album beautiful vocals match this track for a beautiful love song sung with nothing but pure emotion and heartfelt love the line “when you hold me that’s when I know that I am alive, there is a fire that burns inside” floods you with every emotion humanly possible and will be the track that will grab at many hearts having you run for that tissue box. This track is beautifully written in every way possible. We are now up to that final track on this album it has be nothing but explosions of awesomeness with each track being better and stronger with such RAW it has left a hole behind as I come to the fact it has
This song is worth listening to due to the fact that you can connect it to many other tough situations. The lyrics are quite general, so it does not necessarily have to be about the ending of an intimate relationship. The listener can connect with this song during many other hardships.
The song will come from the band's highly anticipated upcoming album, who's release date is not known at this time. According to the band, the song is all about getting closer to God and nature. It is intended to take listeners to a calming place, where they can forget their troubles and connect with their spirituality.
Personally this is my favorite track of the album due to its dreamy composition, admittedly I am a sucker for dream-pop. Other songs like "Skinhead" has you imagine a young man walking down a street wearing 90s jeans while giving clinch inducing winks at passerby. "Skinhead" is one of the more fast-paced songs with it's fast beats and interlacing tambourines, this song seems to be everyone's favorite but not
The Lynyrd Skynyrd classic features a stunning guitar solo by Allen Collins and Gary Rossington. Quite surprisingly, the song is the first song the band wrote together, despite the solo sounding like something only seasoned pros would be able to do.
The dynamics of the album helped to popularize it and establish Parton’s musical abilities. The album includes 14 different tracks spanning within less then 30 minutes. The album contains a variety of
I was on the way to becoming one of those fans. Even though I hadn’t heard Greatest Hits, I had purchased ANThology on a whim, wanting to see if the spunk of “Smooth Criminal” would be present in their original songwriting. It was and much more. This was an album difficult to categorize – just one listen and you knew these four California guys were into a bunch of different stuff, with influences that
Some of the most popular songs of the album include “The Arms Of The One Who Loves You” and “My Little Secret” both breaking into the top 10 of the Hot 100 chart at positions 7 and 9.
I’ve honestly never heard anything quite like this; they have a unique sound and style.
Julian sings of “always wanting more”, and you can’t help but feel the same on listening to the most experimental track on the EP. Can we expect stranger territory on LP number six? Will it even exist? It all remains to be seen.
“Plagued With Righteousness” links passages that can go from acutely boisterous to soaringly atmospheric. The piece is a confluence of funk groove a-la Morphine and classic heavy metal with an easy melodicism, more in the line of Scorpions than Judas Priest. While the trombonist spreads energizing lines, keyboardist Dave Morecroft, the band’s principal composer, solos like if he had a guitar in his hands.
It’s a fun upbeat song to listen to and to sing along to – a perfect party hit.
From the pounding drumbeats, bouncing riffs and direct lyricism, everything has been tailored to sound incredibly straightforward and unabashed. Therefore, this simplicity makes the album, and all Steel Panther material, infectiously catchy. Kicking off with ‘Goin’ in the Backdoor,’ which describes the apparent necessity of anal sex, Steel Panther quickly establish a hard rhythm section and a towering chorus with brief spoken word intersections reminiscent of Van Halen. Sliding into action with placid guitars, then twisting into bendy riffs and soaring solos performed by Russ “Satchel” Parrish, ‘Poontang Boomerang’ is also a one-directional track focused on being as anthemic as possible. While the songs on Steel Panthers fourth are undoubtedly catchy, it’s nothing dissimilar from anything they’ve ever
6. “Volcano” is a thick, dense 80’s style production, with low wide bass lines, and as someone who just moved from Hawaii, Bono might well be singing to any volcanic island native. “Been out in the wild / Been out in the night / Been out of your mind / Do you live here or is this a vacation?” He’s definitely visited at least.
My only regret is that at least on one track, that it don't rock out just a tad harder. For I know Leon and company are more than capable. But it's cool. We do have lots of rock moments mixed in with the more mellow stuff. Hard to complain. Besides that, I can't say enough good words about the overall concept story approach. A solid futuristic, apocalyptic tale that inspires intelligent thought. I strongly recommend paying the extra money and getting the physical CD. It really compliments what you'll hear, as far as packaging. The artwork / photography stands out. Comes with a very well done booklet, that includes the story in written form, plus comic book illustrations. I would love to see this done like an old school vinyl album. I imagine it would even come with a poster, and a few stickers. I can't say enough … this is really, really well done! Okay to buy the download as well. It is the music here that I find most important. The rest is icing on the
Allegiance is the first album from the Melodic Deathcore band and was released through Century Media in 2006. The recording quality of the album is something I can admire to a point, as the production hadn't hit the level of sterilization that a majority of Deathcore bands presently receive. In fact the recording is actually quite raw. And even though it has quite a bit of muddiness to it, I can get behind that far more than the bands who sound like souless droids pounding away at their instrument with absolutely no feeling. Unfortunately, however, that's almost the only compliment this album deserves. There were so many times while I was listening to the band that I just felt utterly disappointed. It was frustrating, every time I felt they
