Free Music Notes for Reflections
Free Music Review: drums from a good drummer
Hit: 5 Stars
It's ok to add drums if they're played by Dave Lombardo of Slayer.Free Music Review: good stuff
Hit: 4 Stars
It's not bad. If you like Goth Rock, you'll probably like it. A little more instrumentation and classical themes than, say, Within Temptation or Luccana Coil. And the female vocalist -- while good -- isn't of the same quality as those two. But, very good. A good listen.Free Music Review: more is less?
Hit: 3 Stars
oops. I saw Apocalyptica live in D.C. with their drummer and I rescind all previous comments about percussion being a bad idea.
Yes, I like Reflections. Yes, I love Apocalyptica, and this album is good and I'm happy that someone had the sense to release it in the States. But here's the thing. Part of Apocalyptica's appeal was the fact that their music was exclusively created by cellos. On "Inquisition Symphony" they even boasted about this. On "Cult", Path Vol. 2 (when they brought in a vocalist) was really f'in cool. Yes, I'm glad that they want to experiment and "expand their sound" and I want the group to feel free creatively, but the addition of percussive elements on some tracks on this album seems to take away from their unique, original butt-kickin' nature, the feeling of "Oh my god, they made all this crazy noise with just /cellos/?!" So, Apocalytpica is still doing well, but I fear with the addition of other instruments they have become just another orchestral metal band.
Free Music Review: Good symphonic metal album, NOT a good Apocalyptica album
Hit: 3 Stars
Had I maybe downloaded this album, perhaps I wouldn't have felt as gypped as I did when I listened to it after purchasing it. I liked this album quite a bit, however it just doesn't feel like an Apocalyptica album at all. I guess if less is more, more is less. The best thing about Apocalyptica was that all they played wsith was cellos and nothing else. They pretty much carved their niche without Vocals or cellos. That said, this is good as a typical symphonic metal CD, but not so much an Apocalyptica CD. There are good songs on here like Cohkka, Somewhere Around Nothing, Heat, and Toreador II, but just beware of the previous claims I made.
