The Chill Factor
Sounds like some cheesy movie or show or something stupid. Its not. Its that feeling that you get whenever you listen to that song. That one song that's just...beyond words. You can't explain it. When a chill runs through your body when the perfect match of lyrics and music morph together and play out of your speakers. Now, there aren't as many bands that have that one song. Which I find quite sad. Actually very sad. It feels like music is loosing its 'Chill Factor'. Its now hard to come across a band that can put together flawless lyrics that are cyrptic, yet you know exactly what they mean, and music that just hits your soul in the 'chilling' way.
While sifting through the massive amounts of bands, there haven't been as many that just do it for me like one of my favourites: Chiodos. Now, I'm not going to gush about them the whole blog, but I would like to say their new album Bone Palace Ballet is a masterpiece.
The lyrics are perfect; the instruments, amazing, and Craig Owens' voice is to die for. That entire album gives me the chills.
Sadly, not many bands have entire albums that can blow your mind. Let alone, one song that will do it for you. It makes me sad that the music industry has now gone skin deep. If the bands are hot then they will get money. Even if their songs are unoriginal and horrible.
At least some bands still try and 'wow' you with their newest album. And I respect them; imensly. I think it takes major guts for a band to stand up and be like 'Fuck this. I'm going to put out an album that will kick all the other bands' albums' ass because it's original.'. Thats so awesome when a band does that.
Its so easy to conform nowadays, but the bands that keep it real and stay true to themselves are the real musicians.
