Forgive Durden-Razia's Shadow (Music)


Description:This CD is a form of a musical, although it does not have a script or acting. It does follow have characters and have a plotline. It has many guest artists from other bands and very full orchestration as well as some badass guitar riffs. Very intense music for a very intense story.

IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!! So this is kind of like a book, but not really...it's technically a CD, but it really has a better plot than many of the "books" written for teens. The music reflects the story very well and covers many emotions with badassery. It flows very well listening to the album as a whole, but the songs can be taken as individual tracks and still stand their badassical ground.

Highlights include:
Doctor Doctor featuring Shawn Harris of The Matches-completely terrifying and wonderfully orchestrated, the music makes you want to pee your pants because Shawn Harris is badtastically pretty.

The Missing Piece featuring Lizzie Huffman and It's True Love featuring Greta Salpeter of The Hush Sound are two love songs that are the most adorable things ever heard. Lyrically gorgeous and badass on love.

The Spider and the Lamps featuring Max Bemis from Say Anything-mostly highlighted because Max Bemis is really badass. One of the best vocally as far as capturing emotion and acting through his singing. Also, congrats on his recent marriage. It was badass too. One of our favorite things about this song is that they overlapped lyrics from Say Anything's Spider Song within the song sung by Max Bemis.

Overall, an extremely good listen, very different from the average music being put out right now, covering a variety of styles and with many badassical guest artists.

Signed, Deadpan Serious
