No. The point is to write a review. If I wanted 10 extra posts, I'd just go and post them in the Fun And Games forum. The splitting it into seperate posts is just to make it easier to read and more manageable



Shot Through The Heart – Creates such an atmosphere right from the get go, as Jon’s singing of the first line turns an understated guitar line into a spine tingling piano pattern. From their the music ebbs and flows fantastically, really kicking off partway into the first verse, before stripping back to the piano and slashing guitars (but with an awesome added lick), then revving back up again culminating in an absolutely shredding guitar solo, coming to a halt for a brief breakdown, a fast drumming buildup bringing it back up to full, and finally with, a climax of ascending guitar, the whole thing screeches to an end. Jon keeps the vocal acrobatics to a minimum here, instead keeping the atmosphere alive with slightly huskier, almost snide vocals (see “Now you’ve come back here to say you’re sorry, HA!”) Simultaneously hard, heavy and haunting, this is a masterclass in how to write a dynamic rock song.

4/5
