    To touch on some of the stuff you guys mentioned:
    1.) In Welcome Home, the guitar solos are traded, starts with Travis and then goes back and forth.
    2.) The band is a concept band, every album released (except for one) is based on the concept of the Amory Wars. Funnily enough, this album is towards the end of the story as a good number of the albums released after this one are "prequels".
    3.) I'm biased, but I personally find them to be a very versatile band that is capable of pulling off a lot of sounds. I personally think that this album has the most "radio friendly" songs on it. Overall, I'd consider them a prog rock band, you will especially see this when you listen to the four song suite at the end of this album, "The Willing Well", which I think is some of the best prog rock released. With that being said, Claudio has great acoustic stuff, but can really lay down the heavy with some tracks as well, some of their songs could probably get tossed into a "metal" category.
    4.) While every album is based on the concept of the Amory Wars, every one of these albums starts with Claudio using his real life experiences and morphing them into something to fit the world. This particular album was released following a bad breakup Claudio had with his then girlfriend, Nikki Owen. If you notice in some of the lyrics, you'll see "Newo" pop up a lot, this is the love interest of the main character in the story named Newo Ikkin, flip that name around and you get Nikki Owen. This is why there is so much anger in this album, it's basically Claudio venting all his anger and frustration about the breakup.
    Thanks for the reaction guys, really liked the content and can't wait to see your reactions to the The Willing Well suite! :D

      While Nikki Owen was a big influence in the first album, Elf Tower, New Mexico is literally about her, she became a character in Claudio's universe and the main character's love interest. But this album had influences of his break up with his now wife, Chondra. Fun fact that The Velourium Camper I: Faint Of Hearts is inspired Claudio and Chondra trying to keep things 'spicy' while they were apart when he was on tour. So Newo, while based on his previous ex, wasn't based on who he was dating when this came out, it was a preexisting character within the Amory Wars who served as a vehicle to channel his frustrations and emotions through. Pretty sure Newo gets killed off in this album though to finally put her in his past.

Claudio and Ambellina then combat a Priest in front of the mirror, resulting in Ambellina being injured.

Ignoring the Writer's command to stop, Claudio kills the Priest and proceeds to confront the Writer. The Writer explains he must kill Ambellina for his own peace of mind, so that the story may have an ending. The Crowing furiously declares, "My God is a coward!" The Writer kills Ambellina, easily overwhelming Claudio's resistance despite his newfound power as the Crowing. As Ambellina dies in Claudio's arms, she professes that she would have loved Claudio had she been able. The Writer walks off into the distance with his bicycle, leaving Claudio with the cryptic message "You're Burning Star IV." He also tells Claudio to listen to the Vishual (Chase) and that "all worlds from here must burn," implying that it is the Crowing's duty to destroy the Keywork.

    I'm watching this again and just vibing now but in the crazy graphic novel ten speed is such a good song to include in the album. It's weird to explain but in the comic there was an actual bike that came into The Writers home and fucked him up. It was an important plot piece but at the end of the day it was just a demonic talking bike. It's so goofy and weird and important. I love it so much.

    Great reaction! You got a new subscriber from this one. Y'all should check out the album they released before this one, "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3"
    This is one of my favorite albums so I could say a million things but I'll just say one: the concept you are trying to put into words of a solo/riff behind the vocals is called a counter-melody. Its not exactly the same as a harmony, but the second "counter" melody is meant to accentuate the primary melody. Travis' lead guitar work in this album is basically a masterclass in counter-melody. The thing about this album is that it is SUPER densely arranged and there is almost too much going on to hear it all at once.

    • @peytonwinstead3412
      @peytonwinstead3412 4 роки тому +1

      Okay one more thing lol
      Super easy oversimplified explanation of the concept: it's a break up album. The whole concept ia a metaphor for that. The concept is that there is this guy writing a story( the Writer ) who falls in love with a character. The problem is, for the story not to get all fucked up, he has to kill her off. But, he feels really mad and conflicted.

      Definitely not true. They might be fans these days, but "Josh Eppard stated in an interview that neither he nor the other band members were Rush fans or influenced by Rush. They began listening to Rush after their second album." And Claudio was involved in that one Rush cover in 2020 you can find on youtube. So I'm sure they're quite familiar with Rush at this point in their lives, but Rush was never a major influence.
