Free Music Review: Interesting, But Leaves One Cold
Hit: 2 Stars
This is more for young guitar players whom aren't quite over the "WOW, that's really fast!"-thang. I can see where it could inspire a person whom has been playing for only a few years or under.
This album is just perplexing. There's some potentially cool harmonic tinkering, but it's so contrived as to be useless toward adding to the tension of the pieces. The inclusion of dissonance as a momentum-propelling musical device can be an exhilirating change from the normal, static rythmic base of heavy Rock. Here it sounds like a couple of immature shred-obsessives trying too hard to be different.
Nothing from this release really sticks with the listener, and I can't see myself ever spinning this again.
Overall, if you want a bit more emotion to your listening experience, definitely get Jason's "Perpetual Burn" before (in my opinion, INSTEAD OF) "Speed Metal Symphony". "Perpetual Burn" opens with four truly excellent tracks that for the most part stick to yer ribs. That album will guaranteed make you WANT to practice more.
Two stars for the whacky arpeggios.
