However, as always, every song on this album is worth listening to, especially if you are taken by Andy Biersack’s vocals or enjoy the zesty hues of Jake Pitts’ the guitar licks.
BLACK VEIL BRIDES REBEL LOVE SONG LYRICS MEANING FULL
The first two are big, full sound metal songs that get the blood flowing, while the last single is another example of how ballads should be done.
Overall, there is a dark shroud draped over the music, which is a throwback to their original album.įor once, I actually agree with the list of singles from this album “ Heart of Fire”, “ Faithless” and “ Goodbye Agony”. It is brimming with a throaty explosion of sound. Sonically, this album is by far the fullest. While I loved this album, and listened to it on repeat for days, I don’t think it stands above Set The World on Fire or Wretched and Divine. I look at these “issues” as points where improvement can be made and as Black Veil Bride’s other albums show, they certainly have made changes and improvements as they moved along in their career. However, I have never seen either of these “flaws” as problems. Andy Biersack’s voice isn’t nearly full or coated with the elegant colors that can be heard in later albums. They had yet to mature, as individuals and a band.Īnother flaw sometimes highlighted are the vocals. Honestly, this isn’t a weakness, because this was their first album. It sounds totally different than the rest of their work. Overall, this album is a wonderful mixture of moody music graced with both dreary and upbeat lyrics.įor a fan of their more recent work, the biggest drawback of this album will be the sound. It isn’t a speedy song by any means, rather it has a very soothing and relaxed tone. “ The Mortician’s Daughter” is another good single that holds a special place on a few of my playlists. Musically, heavy instruments dance around beneath Andy Biersack’s unique, charming, and sometimes growling, voice. “ Knives and Pens” was a rather popular song once upon a time. Their debut album lands in the last spot, even though it is a solid record and it holds several stand out tracks that are BVB classics. As always, this ranking was born from frustration, cursing, and an intense study of the music.
However, some songs are certainly better than others, and certain records are much more ambitious than others. This was a tricky list to construct because I love all their music pretty much universally. Sometimes the sound is raw and angsty and other times it is full of power and might. Overall, the band’s sound is within the hard rock and metal realm of music, however, each album showcases a variation of this sound. It holds meaning for me, and to some extend that is all that matters.īefore I get into the actually ranking, I want to state something I find interesting about this band: each album has a very distinct sound. However, brushing away this tacky feeling, this connection is still my connection. So yes, my connection with their music is a cliché-their crazy guitar solo, pounding drum fills and soothing vocals helped me get through a dark and rocky time in my life. Like all of the music I adore, I discovered them in high school, and my infatuation with them came into full bloom when my father was dying of cancer. In the meantime, however, let’s rejoice and enjoy their older music. Alright, Black Veil Brides has been one of my favorite bands for years, and as I listen to singles from their new album, they will hold onto this coveted spot.
