Free Music Review: A Blissed Out Occasion
Hit: 5 Stars
Being a huge Spree fan since i got a single for "Light & Day" before the first album came out, i first thought that it couldnt get much better than their debut. Boy was I wrong. "Together We're Heavy" is an astounding achievement of majestic proportions. It is a vast improvement from their first album on every level. The song writing has grown by leaps and bounds... structurally and lyrically. Most of the songs in "The Beginning Stages.." were 2 or 3 line choruses repeated over and over. However, without a followup offering to compare these first songs to, the repeated choruses were simple but intoxicating experiances that stirred the love in your soul. The songs on "Together We're Heavy" bring that feeling to a whole new level. Especially the longer songs: "Section 11", "Section 17" and "Section 19". They are truly inspiring epic musical experiances. They bring so many brilliant and joyful musical ideas into one song and it never really feels as long as it is. It builds you up and you get really into everything that is going on without being let down once. Thats not to say that the other songs are not beautiful and amazing.
What I love about these songs and the Spree's style of song writing is that they seem to come in sections, and on a larger scale its also as if the whole album is one song in 10 movements. As soon as you start to fall in love with the first section of a song it breaks into a another wonderful verse or chorus that relates to its predecesor but expands and moves foward into something else within the same song. Very little of it is repeated, so it doesnt necesarily go Verse Chorus Verse at all. There are so many emotional highs and peaks on this album, it makes it exciting to continue it from beginning to end without stopping.
I've listened to this CD at least 30 times since the day it came out, and I'll continue listening to it every day. It makes you happy, it consumes you in warmth. It brings out the best of everything. And where the first album did that as well, this album brings you in deeper with actual story lyrics and meaningful subject matter that is easier to connect with than simple 'the sun makes me shine' kind of stuff. But it is chock full of that too, which makes it a perfect balance and a perfect album.
It comes with a bonus DVD with some fantastic Live footage, an interesting interview with Tim Delaughter and some other little gems like the strange but delightful vgnette "The Tramp" which is some kid (probably a band members son) dancing around like Charlie Chaplin.
This album is truly a blissed out occasion, I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a little light in their life or anyone who appreciates the pure happiness music can bring you.
