Free Music Review: The Echoing Green's strongest effort to date
Hit: 5 Stars
The Winter of Our Discontent is The Echoing Green's sixth studio album, and it's the group's strongest effort to date. The album combines various sounds and moods (straight-up synthpop, intense uptempo numbers, and downtempo mood pieces); however, the songs sound like they naturally segue seamlessly into each other.
"The Story of Our Lives" is definitely the strongest song on the album. As the song progresses, so does its intensity. At its climax, a soaring soprano vocal provided by Jenna London takes the song to "the next level." The listener literally gets a chilld down their spine when Jenna's voice enters the mix.
"Heidi's Song" is synthpop at its finest. Lead singer Joey Belville demonstrates that he can truly hit some high notes on this one. And in "Blind," Joey shows that he can also hit some impressive low notes.
For me, the one real weak spot on the album is "Bittersweet" (a cover of a song originally done by Velour 100). Musically, the song gets stuck in a rut; also, the music is ultimately what gets stuck in your head rather than the words. It seems that the music draws a little too much attention to itself.
Overall, The Winter of Our Discontent is a very strong album, and it's disappointing to realize that the masses will not get a chance to hear it. It's an album I highly recommend. After one listen, you'll wonder why The Echoing Green hasn't broken through to the mainstream yet.
The Winter of Our Discontent Poster
The Echoing Green has established themselves as one of the top American synthpop bands of the last decade, with a long string of albums and extensive touring that has won a large fanbase. "The Winter of Our Discontent" is considered by the band to be a landmark album, blending together all the different styles and structures of synthpop that the band has played through the years. Producer and head-man Joey Belville puts together one of the most emotional and diverse albums you'll hear from The Echoing Green. From clubby futurepop to emotional ballads to catchy pop tunes to melancholy darkwave, it's all here!Dance & DJ Music CDs
