Unfamiliar routes

As Lacrimosa announced the Revolution I was more than excited because was basically and the band arrived at the peak. In addition, Lacrimosa is eh outside any competition, so therefore Tilo can afford once again to experiment. The last great experiment with Lacrimosa was echo therefore came almost purely classical. Revolution is now similar ways unfamiliar and a bit more open than his predecessors.

In detail to analyze the album now as I have done so far would definitely go beyond the scope. The music is Metal / rock-heavy than before. The classical instruments are too little used, and then they act partly as foreign bodies. The new musical direction also brings with it the disadvantage that you Tilo partially difficult to understand because his voice in the noisy soundscape sometimes goes down. Musically reminds me the whole thing a little bit as if you had tried to make an album of Copycat. But may be just my impression.

The texts, now that the tradition of late continues. The lyrics are honest, open and directly accessible. Gone are most of the times where Tilo symbols creates or producing images by the fusion of music and its lyricism has made. The lyrics are moving at a very high level, no question. I think Lacrimosa are here definitely reached a new peak if you can top that again? In 2 years we know it. I find it a bit of a shame, but this kind of poetry fits just perfect into the concept album. Again, it is a matter of taste, I personally like it very much. I had actually fear the Lacrimosa too flat and the surface are of the texts here, fortunately, the opposite has occurred.

But why revolution? The revolution started already with nostalgia where you take 8 titles 10 grabbed the album. On Revolution to throw tradition overboard which is the second song on eingängisten and would be suitable as a single release. I understand revolution to open up more than one breaking out to new climes known. The textual revolution had begun earlier and was completed here, musically it's definitely a revolution. After the revolution begins something new and I am excited. Curious where the journey in 2 years leads.

And one more thing, it is the darkest and beklemmenste album of Lacrimosa since fear and loneliness. Perhaps one of the most personal. It thus acts as Tilo had had a hard time and then struggled up piece by piece and then written down in Revolution. Lacrimosa were never ne peace, joy, party band but this is definitely a very bleak and heavy album.

All in all, purchase recommendation, I like the realignment of the Gothic primitive stone. Although Lacrimosa ever fit in any drawer and have not evolved from album to album? Good Question. I like it and I'm curious where the journey goes. Buy.
