Free Music Notes for World of Glass
Free Music Review: worth five, barely...
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd is not as the old tristania. This is a very good emotional record. the style has changed totally and is not making you feel like you did listening to for instance "beyond the veil" This album is worth owning for everyone but might dissapoint earlier Tristania fans since it isn't even near as good as their earlier work...something is missing.
Free Music Review: A Progression of Intensity...Beautiful and Extreme !!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is not your mother's Tristania... This is the beautiful, swirling and engaging Tristania you have heard before, but is much more extreme. Death type growling vocals, a la Cradle of Filth, or Dimmu Borgir, are mixed in beautifully with the female and Therion, choir-like passages to create a spectacular listening experience! Even those who may not always like the more extreme side, will find this album practically irresistable. It has it's very quiet moments, too.
There are indeed techno-drum intros on some songs, but are so intense and technically strong, that it only adds to the whole effect. Production is clean and clear. This group has matured, progressed, and evolved into something that has rarely been so perfectly executed. Lovers of Theatre of Tragedy, Sins of Thy Beloved, Paradise Lost, Nightwish, and Within Temptation, will love this album. BUY IT...BUY IT...BUY IT!!!
Free Music Review: It's strange, but the best release of the year by any band
Hit: 5 Stars
Tristania is back, with a new vocalist and a new lyrical style, Although this isn't the same Tristania as on the earlier albums, ( the new vocalist sounds NOTHING like Morten, the lyrics went from Elizabethan English to modern language and are of a much more serious nature) the music has progressed beyond the Theatre of Tragedy knockoff image that's plagued the image of the band on the last two albums.However, there are pieces of the music which do no fit Tristania in the least. Listen to the beginnings of Lost and Selling Out.. TECHNO! Then they seem to go back to sacred chants from the Renaissance in Wormwood and Hatred Grows.
Wormwood has to be the most versatile song on the album, maybe the best of all the Tristania songs. all songs are composed beautifully. The production is crystal clear.
If you liked the old stuff, pick this up and give it a listen. Classical, opera, and medieval music fans will probably love this, too. If you're expecting Slipknot, stay out.
