Free Music Notes for Glory Bound (Dig) Album
Free Music Review: One of the hardest albums I've ever heard.
Hit: 5 Stars
To start off, I'd just like to say that I'm a huge Mike Vallely fan. The man is a true artist and it shows through everything he does. As far as to music goes, Revolution Mother is really something else. It's more than just something to listen to while riding your skateboard (Although it definately works for that purpose also). However, this album is a statement of struggle and alienation against so many things. I find it hard to listen to the album sometimes because of how heavy it is. Now when I say heavy, I don't mean "Death Metal" heavy, where a band just plays heavily distorted, incredibly technical riffs while singing lyrics about gore and satanism that most of the members don't even have any actual connection to. No, this is an emotional assault. Every lyric and every note has so much emotion layered beneath it that it's hard to be passive while listening to. I love this because it's 100% honest! I hate listening to bands sing about angst ridden nonsense that they have no comprehension of. Also, if you love skating, this is a great album to get yourself pumped up before a session, I always keep this one in my Ipod nano.
My personal favorite song here is Who I Am... It's a much slower song without any drums which features Mike V giving a heart wrenching narative in the form of singing. Even though it's the slowest track on the album, it's my personal favorite because of how close it hits to home.
So to sum up this review, anyone that has struggled in life because of their individuality should definately pick this up. This is an album that stands strong on its own, without having to draw from Mike's fame as a profesional skateboarder. Go out to the store, pick up this album, and it might just inspire you to rise above all the things that have ever held you down in life.
Also, I'd recomend anything by Duane Peters and the Hunns. Another great punk rock band fronted by one of my favorite skaters of all time.
