Where can I
get the CD?
Jacobs Dream - Theater of War |
|
If I were forced to just choose three albums that you'd get for this year I
surely would have chosen Jacobs Dream's Theater of War (along with Shadow
Gallery's legacy and Saviour Machine's Legend III's). Why? Because Jacobs
Dreams previous effort was SO impressive.But still I was a bit nervous, would
they succeed to produce another masterpiece? Well, the answer is short and
simple: YES! This will for sure be one of the highlighs of the year. I love it!
It contains everything you want to be included in a heavymetal album. Some fast
and heavy songs, some little slower (but still not slow ala Veni Domine...), an
outstanding instrumental track and a emotional ballad. One of the best things with the album is the lyrics, J.D. is one of the best songcomposing bands I know. One good example of this is the ballad "Sarah Williams", where most bands sing about love J.D. tells about a man who has killed a person while driving drunk, now he's ashamed of that and asks for forgivness. This is what songwriting is all about! This is one of my alltime favorite ballads. Other songs that marks the disc's quality are the fast "The warning", the midtempo "Traces of Grace" and the great title track. But as always with J.D. none of the tracks are even moderate they are all awesome! Musically they have even improved since last time, now it's a heavier guitarsound and a crunchier sound. The only flaw is the somewhat sloppy production, if they manage to fix that on the next album...man I don't know how good it will be! You must have this album!! |
