Free Music Notes for Fused Together in Revolving Doors
Free Music Review: Technical Brilliance, Avoiding cliche at the same time.
Hit: 5 Stars
The Red Chord can be described as Grindcore/Metal. Although usually mostly grindcore influenced. Also have some Jazz influenced parts, like The Dillinger Escape Plan.
To an untrained ear, It may sound like just noise with spastic drumming, and guitar all over the place, but that is in a sense what Grindcore is. This album is extremely technical, and you will find yourself amazed at their brilliance in their songwriting.
This album (To me) is better than the follow-up, Clients. It contains more memorable moments, and variety, where as Clients is bland compared to "Fused Together..."
Any, some of the people who reviewed this album, are not very educated when it comes to bands such as The Red Chord. They are NOT Hardcore, or Death Metal. IF you are into stuff like that, Forget buying this album.
Nihilist:
Begins with a straightforward grindcore passage, progresses into a more "hardcore" sounding chord progression. (Thats for the red chord, and is by no means "hardcore") Anyway, pretty fast technical song. This Re-release also contains a Live version of this song, which I highly recommend, just because the way they start it out.
"Hi, were the Red Chord, this next songs called..." Immediately starts the song.
Ends with an awesome Jazz chord progression.
That Certain Special Ugly:
Kind of minor sounding guitar harmonies begin the song following a sample of a spinning top. Progresses into more "red chord" style grindcore. Pretty metal influenced song.
Catalepsy:
One of my favorites of this album. Very metal influenced with alot of pinch harmonics. Guy, the vocalist does alot of Low vocals, which is his specialty. The ending is amazing, if any point this album gets close to death metal, its the end of this song. Contains a BREAKDOWN, amazingly. The Red Chord is the only band that can manage to play a "breakdown" and not bore you to death with a simple ass monotonus formula.
Like A Train Through A Pidgeon:
Probably one of my favorite song titles of all time. Once again, this song is genre defying, and cannot be labeled as one specific genre. Contains one of the high points of the album where Guy growls the line "Am I dying or just waking up."
He Was Stretching, And Then He Climbed Up There:
This song is, for the most part an interlude/transition to the next song, clocking around 2 minutes. Contains hardly any drums, mostly creepy sounding guitars, and vocal effects, Guy uses the effect "bitcrusher" I believe. Provides a good transition into the next song.
Breed The Cancer:
Continues where "he was stretching.." leaves off, slowly begins a transition into more grindcore and blastbeats. Then transitions into a metal sounding riff. Has great lyrics.
L Formation:
Probably the albums most technical song. Guitar riffs/drumbeats change every few seconds. At around 30 seconds it goes into one of the only melodic pieces on the albums. No singing however, but the guitar is clean and melodic, its a very nice change from the rest of the album. The guitar then does something very cool, A prog Jazz transition into the next riff, while still clean, and a blastbeat. You just have to hear it to see how brilliant it is.
Dreaming In Dog Years:
Ahh, probably the most "popular" song from this record... thats not saying much however. Very metal influenced in some parts, and very grindcore in some other parts. This is one of the Red Chord's most famous live songs, where the end turns into a huge dogpile, "It's not gonna be alright, It's not gonna be okay."
This song is amazing when seen live.
Sixteen Bit Fingerprint:
I never got into this song, but It's a good song nonetheless. Serves as a good ending to the record, although I wished that it would've ended more dramatically, In my opinion, Dreaming In Dog Years would've ended it better. This song does it well though, with some clean Jazz parts Almost like "L Formation" Ends with more "bitcrusher" sounding effects, most likely made with vocals.
Overall, If your into technical metal influenced grindcore, this album is for you. One of the best of its kind, and probably hard to top by even The Red Chord themselves, "Clients" wasn't as good.
