I bought this album yesterday so I have listened it through only 4-5 times. My friend sent me Storm and Slow Me Down a week or two ago so I knew this would be an excellent album but I had no idea it would be this-freaking-awesome. I love every song so much I am having troubles choosing the best one. Well, Storm and Slow Me Down are both great songs but I voted for Depth Charge. It has a great atmosphere and I just love the ''who's behind the door''-part. After walking about seven hours trying to find my way to the music stores in Helsinkin and sitting four hours in a bus I finally got home and got to listen this record. When I heard Depth Charge my head went numb and I had to sit down because it just was so inexcplicable good.
Deadhead... from the very first time... it just moves me... drives me... I don't know how to explain it but it feels like an deep emotional trip... Dev's voice is just everywhere... amazing song... one of my all time favorites...
Is there any problem? I just fucking love this song! The falsete Devin's singing, the positive lyrics, the incredible beginning... Just awesome pop-metal hymn!
Y read a lot of bad reviews about "Accelerated Evolution" before purchasing it... And what can I say? Another great album. Not so environmental as "Terria", not so complex as "Synchestra", but full with great songs. I think this is just the vision of hard rock filtered by the Devin's mind... And although there are some complex songs (Away, Suicide...) this is one of his most accesible efforths... Perfect for beginners! Just marvellous, in conclusion.
Almost every song on the CD is a masterpiece, so it was hard to pick. I chose Suicide, it touches me in a way no other song does. My complete order of favorites on this record:
