Underneath 10. Headless 11. Anal 12. Do It To Yourself 13. untitled The opening track is 'Give Up', is a track in the style of NIN, Gravity Kills with powerful riffs and angry vocals. The next track is 'Sheep', starts with some sampled narration, followed by a more mellow approach, nice vocals and keyboards, but not for long before the heavy guitars and angry vocals come in. Quite a few changes in direction, mood and tempo and one of nmy favourite tracks on the album. The third track 'Enough', has some funky guitar, solid drum sound, vocals are more in the Marilyn Manson style. There are parts when the guitar gets heavier. The next track 'Human', starts with a short intro with some narration in the background, drum machine and some angry vocals, the beat then slows down and the vocals get a bit softer although throughout the track the re are times when the angry vocals return. 'Hymn 13', this track shows a change in direction from the previous four tracks. This is more what I would call a singer/songwriter track mainly composed on piano and keyboards. The sixth track 'Power', is a straight edged rock song. The next track 'Real', this is another track that is more in the NIN style, vocals are more controlled and show a lot more emotion. 'Goodbye', acoustic track with softer, but emotional vocals. The ninth track 'Underneath', is another subtler track with some nice keyboards. It's quite atmospheric with the noise of winds and a soft industrial rhythm in the background. Track 10 is 'Headless', is quite haunting really, I could imagine the softer parts to this track in a horror movie, theres angry vocals from Rene, softer vocals from Peter in the background. The next track is 'Anal', is more straight rock, powerful guitars, fairly upbeat and powerful vocals from Landon. At the end of the track theres a bit from Monty Python 'Do It To Yourself', this is another track with a funky rhythm. The vocals are on the softer side and it also has a fairly catchy chorus. The final track which is untitled is just a short bit from Eric Idle (Monty Python). Glass Eden show that they are very versatile on this release. Beside showing the industrial metal side, they also have a more a sofetr side to their music. Highly Recommended!!! Released on Reality Records (31116-2) Website : http://www.glasseden.com |
