I was managing my | | expectations when August Burns Red announced “Constellations” because I | | loved “Messengers”, I didn’t know if they could pull it off twice in a | | row. Well, call me Doubting Thomas, because they not only met my | | expectations they blew them out of the water. August Burns Red has | | progressed into one of the finest Metal bands today. | | | | Jake has a very similar guttural scream that he did on “Messengers”, but | | with more range in “Constellations”. As you listen to this CD you will | | discover Jake’s talent and range and how it fits perfectly in with the | | metal riffs, solos, heart-pounding drums, and ABR’s signature | | breakdowns. Speaking of the breakdowns, they are faster and more complex | | than any previous ABR projects. I found myself being captured by the | | breakdowns, they are catchy, groovy and just flat out epic. Through out | | “Constellations” you will be surprised and excited by the diversity this | | band offers, especially in the building up of a song. And speaking of | | building up, that is one thing August Burns Red has perfected - the art | | of climax. They do this by creating a series of unexpected events - they | | will tone the tempo of a song down, throw in piano, bring out a guitar | | melting solo, and yes, they will even sing. That is why this is August | | Burns Red’s most diverse and most promising album to date. | | | | On the lyrical side of life, it seems as though ABR has brought it up a | | notch - each song is poetic and uses analogies and metaphors to describe | | an experience or a struggle we face daily. An example of this is from | | the song “Thirty and Seven”. “What will you become, what will become of | | you. Your mind is the mountain before you. You’ve reached the summit, | | now transcend the skies.” From the song “The Escape Artist” there is a | | line Jake screams “your mouth is like a grenade”. These are just a | | couple of examples to wet your appetite. | | | | “Metal” has been assaulted by a variety of variations over the year, but | | one thing ABR does that no other band has is keeping “Metal” original | | and not falling in with the fad that has seemed to take over the metal | | genre. Know this: August Burns Red has created an Epic piece of music | | that will take metal to a whole new level. You will not be disappointed. | | | | | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
