LickPenny loafer ...Bonded...review
People,
This is mind blowing... production is great (and has done full justice to the song) and ofcourse I've heard this song before(as a lesser being that grew to embrace immortality) and is one of my personal favourites. Led Zepplinish vibe (riff reminescent of "Kashmir") meets Rush (with the open notes on B and E strings) meets alternative (especially the intro: tell me, three doors down=Kryptonite, with a jazzy twist) meets Radiohead on vocals (with the vocal acrobats or is it Nick Drake, not sure). Interesting chorus with the keyboards (is it, or a delayed/chorus artificial harmonic??) playing seconds (is it the 5ths or the 7ths??, don't know yet). And yes, as an authority in prog-rock-prowess-music (is that a word?), this certainly qualifies. The senses are treated to an eclectic mix of the band's artistic vision. Gentlemen, this is the dawn of a new era. I am not kidding when I say this. Because, the lyrics are far superior, which in reality galvanizes the whole experience. This is the alchemy of different styles in music (which I think are the band's musical/artistic influence and claim to fame). A band that all can appreciate, is truly majestic.
Suggestions/comments: It is ofcourse a personal choice (a prog-rocker's perspective),but still. GEt a female vocalist for those high registers that your song writing demands. More of keys on the chorus, I feel the ambiance but not potent enough, just a tad more. Drumming is great, more of hi-hats and a snare followed by a double bass or vice-versa before the 2nd verse begins after the chorus (ala soundgarden: I fell on Black Days, drrrrr..: and whomsoever I..."...if you know what I mean). Bass is good, especially on the doubling with the lead guitar on the end of the intro and over the course of the song. I would like to hear more from this guy though, he's got potential. A little more pompusness, in terms of orchestration, would go well with the energy (hey, that's just me). Overall, this is a promising upcoming band which I would support. Please let me know as to where I can purchase their music. Good luck and Rock on!!
Check 'em out on myspace.
PS: One of the band's friends on Myspace is Derek Sherinian (Ex-Dream Theater)... Wow!
