Right
when this album begins it has a familar sound to it. It's traditional
goth music with beautiful female vocals. Think of maybe Siouxsie with
a darker edge and less of a pop vibe. The music is created strictly
with guitar, bass and drums. Although I prefer goth music with keyboards
used to add a dramatic, orchestrated and haunting edge, Stone 588 is
able to create mood with their organic instruments. There is talent
here and it's proven on each of the 21 tracks. While the music creates
the overall feel, Terri Kennedy helps to carry the songs along with
her diverse and emotional voice. This band is indeed a team effort and
mix all of their skills together to create some very powerful songs.
Everything is good here. There is nothing that you will want to skip
past. Once you press play on your stereo you are lost in the world that
this band creates and can't help but continue listening. There is a
lot of variety to be enjoyed due to the fact that there are songs here
that rock hard and heavy as well as songs that are more melodic, beautiful
and soothing. The bottom line is that if you like goth music, you just
can't go wrong with this album.
