An Interesting Look At the Struggle Between Good and Evil.
Posted February 21, 2009
By username2,
Red is one of those bands that have come up with a fresh way to make string orchestra's cool by blending with with hard hitting guitars, loud drums, and a guy screaming lyrics into your ears. 3 years ago Red came out with End of Silence which is probably one of the most epic albums I have ever heard. Now in 2009, Red has given us the sequel. It's not as epic as End of Silence was but it was still good to listen too. They have turned the guitars louder, (cranked it up to 11. Hey, I couldn't resist.) have made sure that the string orchestra comes in at the right moment, and have crafted an album that talks about the struggle within our souls between good and evil. It's interesting that on the 10 tracks some of them are talking about how evil is good while on other tracks they talk about how good is... good. I really liked their cover of the Duran Duran song Ordinary World. All in all, it's a very well crafted album and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of this band or a heavy rocker fan.
On a side note, inside the lyrics book there is a website composed of numbers. It's the first of many websites that Red created as part of an ARG that is marketing this album. They have taken most of the elements from the poem The Devine Comedy where Dante tours Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, and have created a similar journey that ends with some special goodies. It's something worth checking out. View All Music And Book Reviews By username2 | View username2's Profile
