Free Music Notes for Metaphor

Free Music Review: P.O.'s worst but still an essential masterpiece.
Hit: 5 Stars

Unlike Trust this album is more acoustic and even more tribal sounding though mantaining his trademark sound in some areas.

Patience My Friend is a very medievel song with some beeping sounds in some areas. Crossing the Divide features more acoustic guitars and more tribal drums that results in one of his most acoustic songs to date and it works well. Peace Be With You is a stunning piece with gorgeous flutes and tribal drums and a soothing jazzy atmosphere. The Women Of Lachaise is a sogn with lots of tribal percussion with some electronic sounds but overall this is a very mediecel song. It ends with maracas and a flute fading out. Drive is my favorite sogn on this CD. It's a somewhat space oriented song with lots of echoing pianos and an awesome bass line. This is the winner on this album. Let Truth Prevail is another song with tribal percussion but with some of his trademark sound. Images In Stone is an okay song with just some medievel keyboards and a very dark feel. All Quiet Now is sort of like Peace but a minor note and with some thundering drums. Faith And Endurance is a good closer to this masterpiece. It's a fast paced song with unusual sounding guitars and face paced drums. It ends with a loud clang.

This may be his weakest album to date but this is still a five star and is an essential for fans of P.O. 's post Indigo material. Those who may not care for this disc are probably looking for more of his more electronic sound. While I understand why they may be dissapointed with this one this should not be passed up by any fan. Go ahead give it a try I,m sure most of you will love it in the end.

While this is my least favorite by him I still love it. He would surpass this one five years later with his crowning achievement So Flow The Current, my favorite album by him to date.
