thoughts on legion of doom
so I had a good week to sit down and have quality time with these songs. the four tracks that were released prior to the full length were more straight forward; a very seamless marriage of two songs with very little effects and elements mixed in.
such wasn't the case for the rest of the songs.
with expectations of the songs being straight forward like the songs I had heard, it was a surprise to hear the generous usage of new beats and even featured rapping by the likes of KRS ONE. at first I didn't know what to make of it. but as I peeled back the layers I saw what really is the genius at the core of legion of doom.
my current faves are lolita's medicine [from autumn to ashes vs dead poetic] and ebola in memphis [every time i die vs norma jean f/ krs one]. thing is I don't even like every time i die or norma jean and I REALLY like how these two songs are fused together. same deal for devil in a blue dress [coheed and cambria vs senses fail] -- I really don't like coca.
on the other hand the tracks I was really looking forward to, thrice vs alkaline trio and my chem vs static lullaby didn't blow me away. but thanks to TLOD I have new found respect for some of these bands, presenting a new angle for me to check them out.
verdict: good times.
