Review of "Anthem"
|
By: Scott Alisoglu
eople that know me as a full-on metal head will be surprised to know that I'm a sucker for certain types of soaring harmonies and borderline sappy pop rock. I also love the epic sound of albums like Queen's A Night at the Opera. My point is that Byrd's Anthem has many of these elements and can now be added to my list.
However, I must make clear that while Anthem is full of beautiful harmonies and keyboard heavy melodic gems, Byrd is not a bubblegum band. The musicianship is flawless. James Byrd's guitar playing is brilliant and his solos will send shockwaves from your toes to your skull. He also throws in a lot of Brian May style layered guitar parts which sound fantastic. Micheal Flatters belts out some decent mid-range crooning. The arrangements are captivating and the songs in general are compelling, if a bit sappy. It's a rocking piece of work, but it's also quite slick and glossy, so I wouldn't necessarily have it blaring from my car stereo as I drive past a biker bar. I enjoyed it.
