Ghost B.C. Meloria album review


Ghost and Disturbed released an album on the same day, but were both of them met with equal publicity? probably not as Disturbed have a bigger fanbase, anyways onto the review.

No question about it, each song has its own signature to it. The first song of the album which is titled 'spirit', focuses on synths and gives an eerie feel to the song. it has choir like vocals in the background and it sounds double tracked. both give an spooky sort of feel to the song.

the next song is called 'From The Pinnacle To The Pit' is more upbeat and has a sort of groove sort of feel to it with the bass sound. In a sense it sounds like older metal (classic metal) I think they did a good job with this song.

Now onto perhaps my favourite song of the album, 'Cirice' although it sounds a tad like the previous song style wise. It is a catchy song, even the slow chorus with piano doesn't take away from the epicness of the song.

The next song is 'He Is' sounds like an old pop song, you know when pop was actually good; and maybe a tad country and atmospheric sounding too. Overall I think this song has many genres to it. I like the idea that the song sounds cheerful but the lyrics are dark. The idea of this song and how it fits together is beautiful.

Although 'Majesty' sounds similar to the song 'He Is' the lyrics are more satanic in nature. Though, some may argue that 'He is' is also satanic, Its whatever you identify with and isn't intentionally satanic. Whereas 'Majesty' is intentionally satanic.

overall this album is really good, the whole album fits together well and obviously that is a good thing. What are your thoughts of the album? I'd like to know
