Trail Of Tears - Profoundemonium
Allright, so here's another review-as-I-listen of the 2000 release by Trail Of Tears. I've liked a couple other albums by this band. The album released after this one, A New Dimension of Might, is very good, so I'm expecting that I will enjoy this.
Track 1 - Boring two and a half minute orchestral intro track. I hate long intro tracks.
Track 2 - I'm not really sure whats going on with this song yet. It started out with some really bad deep vocals, but then improved with some angelic and female vocals. Now it's got some standard death vocals and some good guitar riffs. I was worried for a bit that this would be a very short post because I almost stopped the album. Talk about impatience...
Track 3 - This track is reminding me of the band Anorexia Nervosa with a slightly different singer for some reason. Well it was, now it slowed down and the female vocals came in. The male singer doesn't have a very good clean voice.
Track 4 - The title track opens with just bass and keys and a somewhat lame intro riff. Not a very exciting track.
Track 5 - I swear this song has the same somewhat lame riff from the last song. The angelic vocals from the female singer aren't incredibly good, and I'm usually a sucker for any female voice. I like her regular singing voice, she needs to stick to that.
Track 6 - "Preludium" is an annoying way of saying "intro." I guess this track is just an intro to the following track. A simplistic keyboard track which is too long. We already had an intro to the album. This next song better be fucking awesome.
Track 7 - Opens with a very thrash metal sounding guitar riff. Nothing spectacular though. I took a bathroom break when the angelic voice came in. This is one of the better tracks on the album thus far, but that's not saying much.
Track 8 - The rest of these are probably going to be short because I've lost most interest in this album, but I'm almost through it, so I'll tough it out. Cut it out with those angelic voices. This track is actually better than the last, except for when the female starts piping in. Ugh, she just held a ten second note.
Track 9 - I wonder if this is the same female singer from the other albums I actually like. According to wikipedia, this woman left the band soon after this album.
Track 10 - Only 2 tracks left, unfortunately this one is the longest, clocking in at 7:30. Wow, this band has had all sorts of member changes. It looks like they even officially split up in 2006, but then reformed.
Allright I think I'm done with this. I'll keep listening to the last track, but I don't feel any need to write anything on it. I doubt it's going stray far from this mostly boring sound they have on this album. I got to say that I'm disappointed with this album, I really was expecting that I would like it.
