Review:
Bear Colony's first CD, "WE CAME HERE TO DIE" is one of the most progressive albums from an even more progressive band I've seen come out of Arkansas in the last five years. This new collective includes members who are used to being in professional bands. Their past endeavors include and are not limited to: lovedrug, pedro the lion, snailhuntr, and Unwed Sailor. I have my favorites for sure, but Bear Colony is winning over the spot for number one. Vince Griffin sings with a haunting tone in his voice that works well with the crazy beeps and beats of the album. They have a very complete sound to their band. Track one starts off with an up tempo song that leads into an appropriately placed track two," Hymnal". If Radiohead was a new up and coming band, this is what their music would sound like. The most captivating of all their songs is track number 10 called "The Boy with Broken Arms". It's definitely the hit on the CD. The song is so powerful and strong sounding. Reminds me some mafia movie where the good guy is walking away from some big murder scene. He's looking blankly into the distance but he's got a destination on his mind. The whole album has a pop like rhythm to most of the tracks, but overall is dark and romantic feeling. The lyrics are upbeat and melodic for the most part, but also slightly melancholy. Bear Colony are in a genre all their own, but Bear Colony could easily be put into this new kind of power pop craze taking over the music scene right now. The album has balance. This is one of those albums that you could drive to all day around town and feel like you went around the world and passed through all four seasons. Somehow this album has achieved being timeless while being very modern. "We came here to die" is one of the most enchanting albums you could ever own. Start to finish it is complete. They will be releasing their album on Esperanza Plantation in Feb of 2007.

Мне альбом очень нравится. Отличается по звучанию от многих других американских команд. Ну и обложка забавная+)
