It’s amazing how biting and venomous some of these words cut. This girl ripped this guy’s tender heart out and crushed it with sharp fingernails. It’s about a love relationship that soared and then crashed. If it was a concept album, though, it’s not about science fiction. But, like a concept album longs to be, listening from beginning to end is an exercise in brilliance with dynamic plays and swells of emotion that’ll kill you. It’s great and amazing no matter how you slice it. This album can be listened to on shuffle. I can listen to Queensryhe’s Operation Mindcrime from front-to-back, but when is the last time you or somene you know listened to the “greatest concept album of all time” (note quotes), Pink Floyd’s The Wall? I mean, there are some great, great songs on there, but there’s also more than a few dismal throw-aways. I mean, who really likes to listen to concept albums? The problems with concept albums is there are always filler songs to keep the story going that are throw-aways.
This apocalyptic nightmare serves as a warning shot to all mankind, whose only hope of survival is to reclaim our humanity… …based on a loose storyline by Desmond Child and futurist Liam Carl, which predicts a world torn apart by a civil war between humans and robots. And it gave some explanation about a futuristic nightmare a la Terminator: When I was given this album to review, the “bio” that came with it explained that it was a concept album.
