Amorphis: Silent Waters (2007)

daefommicc — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:47:44 +0000

Amorphis once again showcase their amazing musical talent, this is as close to perfect as you can get.
We all have our favorites, we all know what kind of music makes us grin from ear to ear. For me, I love music which is dark and serene, melancholic and sorrowful, surreal and brooding. I want music which literally takes me away from it all, and like a narcotic, drags me into a world of bliss and serenity. I did not know what perfection was before I heard this, as a matter of fact I did not even believe that a band could create a “perfect” CD.
The cover art is a masterpiece in itself, a scene of a dark and calm lake surrounded by the cold night air, the brooding forest, and the freezing moon. A single bird floats calmly in the lake, seemingly unaware of the epic, somber scenery looming behind it. The band’s logo is entwined in a flowery plant, with the simple text of “Silent Waters” written underneath it. If the impressive cover art doesn’t get you to buy this, the music contained within it will knock you to the floor. We have here 11 tracks, or chapters if you will, of one massive story. Seriously, you could combine this album into one 46 minute song and it would flow beautifully, the transitioning between songs is barely noticeable.
The guitars are obviously the strongest point of this album. They play some of the best, most melodic riffs I’ve heard in years.
To sum up:
Fantastic, Top-Notch Vocals
Guitars Create Some Amazing Melodies
No Filler Tracks
Crystal Clear Production
Unmeasurable Amounts Of Musicianship

birthday weekend recap

seemeghanblog — Thu, 28 May 2009 15:04:23 +0000

i had such a great weekend in chicago with my bests. friday was my birthday dinner at chaise lounge, followed by drinks at aberdeen. i had to deal with movers and packing for more hours than i had wished, but it had to be done. and, i got to do all the girly, stupid things i missed: sushi, girl-time, nails and shopping. oh and we made a pit-stop for a souvenir that will not be discussed on here until all necessary parties have been informed. yes, it.is.that.awesome. good times were had by all, and i can’t wait to come back up next month for another round of birthday celebrations. below is a quick photo recap:

happy 26th, old lady.

and i think this is absolutely hilarious. sweet server who can’t even remember whose birthday it is.

not me, idiot, her.

thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes of all types, near and far, it really does mean so much to me.

Bests

Lots of interesting (if pointless) bests I encountered today:

Sound Opinions asked for the best live album ever a few weeks back. Jay-Z Unplugged got a white boy from Missouri interested in hip-hop, but there isn’t much cooler than the electric version of Like A Rolling Stone that Bob Dylan cranks out after a stunned audience member calls him “Judas.”

Which brings to mind one of my favorite hypotheticals: if you could see any band live, in their prime, who would it be? I pick The Who.

And last on today’s Bests: sentences. More Intelligent Life is starting a series on great sentences. They start with this opener from Salman Rushdie. I’ll cheat a pull from a recent post:

He could move fast, and the back porch gave onto the kitchen, and before the screen door had banged shut behind him the Daddy had taken the scene in whole, the overturned pot on the floortile before the stove and the burner’s blue jet and the floor’s pool of water still steaming as its many arms extended, the toddler in his baggy diaper standing rigid with steam coming off his hair and his chest and shoulders scarlet and his eyes rolled up and mouth open very wide and seeming somehow separate from the sounds that issued, the Mommy down on one knee with the dishrag dabbing pointlessly at him and matching the screams with cries of her own, hysterical so she was almost frozen.
