 At All Cost - It's Time to Decide Review
What an excellent release from a band fulla innovators! I am sure history will smile as kindly on them as it now does on Olivia Newton John & the Beach Boys, thanx to the wonderful merging of their styles in a modern metalcore setting! Did you ever hear of a band brave enough to take chances like this? Metalcore bands that are not afraid to wallow in their softer, more adult contemporary side sure show more originality & variety in their music than the ones influenced solely by music from these days, don't you agree? Diversity & introducing an entire generation of kids who never heard of the Bee Gees & Xanadu to the best of their parents' record collection takes second place to their attempts to help kids respond rightly to the confusing world we live in. Bringing their novel perspective to the war in Iraq presents the guys as edjukaters par eksellance! In a most unclichιd fashion, these guys oppose US involvement in it, and they can't remember how it all started. I think the rest of the song deals with how their cable got cut off & they sincerely don't know about the Twin Towers being attacked. We all need to rally around them, pity them & make sure they can scrape up enough dough to get their cable turned back on by buying this CD!! Their first song is the one I want to feature in the Dolly Showcase of the day. Possibly this song came from the depths of a Yoda like Grampa's figure overshadowing the boys' past, influencing his impressionable youngsters with his deranged rants that Pearl Harbor was a myth & we should not have gotten involved in WW2, either. I'm sure as a direct result of this, one of the kids in this band shares his love for the history surrounding his Grampa with visitors to his site, proudly listing "Hitler & the Power of Asthetics" as his favorite book of all time. Didja ever wonder about the softer, gentler side of Hitler, the sensitive artiste who apparently was only trying to clean up Germany (& much of Europe) & replace its 'unseemly elements' with a more visually appealing style of people? Wonder no more! I learned a lot from the helpful links on their band's site, although for some reason there were no 'myth of the Holocaust' types sites on there. Oh well, at least I have a new book to curl up over Christmas with, I can't wait to read all about Hitler & the great, overarching ambitious artistic legacy he left behind for AAC to aspire to! There were a couple beautiful ballads on here that any little girl would be delighted to ballet dance to, there were also Evanescence type songs for their growing preteen girl fanbase. AAC is girl friendly, fo' sho'! For the older girls is a Finch knock off tune I'm sure you'll love. Yep, if yer a chick, a Hitler fan or some other flavah of left winger, you'll loooooooooooove this band to death! Feel sorry for them & buy lotsa!!
