Things Are Not Life brings a 9 track album that hits on all
cylinders. They have come with a great concept that is new and ready for listeners
to soak it up through their spores. God
Can’t Safe has a great “crunch sound to it with bass that Is played loud in the
mix. The track has great vocals and amazing song structure. The guitars effect pedal allows for the song
to expand to new heights with the high pitch screeches. The vocals aren’t
overly done and have a great sound that is full. The vocalist sings from his
gut and not from his throat which gives him a much broader range. The intro is phenomenal and the band kicks it
off right by showing their best first.
“In The Middle” Starts with a killer guitar riff that
reminds me of stoner metal or rock riffs.
When the vocals hit the guitarist gives us a very distinct sound through
the song structure. The vocals are once again awesome, He utilizes all of his
tools when he sings going from high to low, with even some talking parts which
goes well and gives a solid change to the track. The guitars again are awesome,
very mellow and chilling so to speak. I love the use of effects. The drummer utilizes
his skills on this track as well with several drum fills which sound great and
add depth to the song. I especially love the guitar solo and interlude where
the guitar is consumed with flanger making the sound very spacey. The vocalist’s highs are phenomenal towards
the end I was very impressed with his range and how well the band collaborates together.
“Princess Harry’s Hollow Crown “ Is another one of my
favorites, and how couldn’t it be with a title like that. It’s unique and flat
out different. I went ahead and googled
the song and Things Are Not Life is the only band to use this song title.
(round of applause) The vocals again are
a stand out on this track accompanied by excellent riffs and drums that don’t
over power the sound. The sound reminds me of something from The
Doors which is great because I love Jim Morison. The lyrics are awesome because
everything mentioned is true. About buying the T.V.’s and buying things we don’t
need. It’s all to fill the void like
Things Are not Life mention on their website.
Things Are Not Life is phenomenal they deserve a massive audience.
If they choose to tour I can see them gaining popularity fairly quick they just
need to find the right hook ups. Don’t
sleep on this one! Their message is true and to the point. The vocals and sound
is unique and brings something stellar to the table.
