ROCKWiRED.COM CONTRiBUTOR JEREMY GiLLEY GiVES HiS TWO CENTS REGARDiNG SOMETHiNG CLEVER'S NEW RELEASE SEASON OF DARKNESS
http://www.rockwired.com/seasonofdarkness.jpgSOMETHING CLEVER gave me the honour of reviewing their new release SEASON OF DARKNESS which will be released on MARCH 17th and fans of SOMETHING CLEVER, you're in for a treat and even if you hate it, buy it for the fucking cover. It would make for an amazing poster or vinyl record cover. So SOMETHING CLEVER, there's 2 merchandise ideas for you. Anyway in regards to the album, I found it to be absolutely splendid. It's one that you have to sit and listen to from beginning through to the end. The guitar work on the intro is fantastic and I don't know why but it reminds me of BATTERY by METALLICA and I was anticipating, "LASHING OUT WITH ACTION RETURNING THE REACTION" but it keeps on a mellow level but despite that it's very powerful, especially as it leads into the title track "SEASONS OF DARKNESS". SEASONS OF DARKNESS is a pretty hard hitting track and ADAM NELSONS voice hits hard as it usually does. As far as the track goes, it's excellent and everything blends together so well and I find myself humming along with the chorus. Then of course this leads into their single "FREAKS LIKE YOU" which has to be my favourite song by them, it is so fucking catchy and alone with hearing it at live shows, I go home scrolling through FACEBOOK shouting the chorus as I delete people from my friends list. "WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES? I DON'T NEED THE COMPANY OF TWO FACED FREAKS LIKE YOU." It's very empowering, now you the reader, just shout that out and see how it makes you feel. The song itself is absolutely terrific and it was perfect to choose as a single. ECHOES is pretty good but I would have to say that it's my least favourite track on the album. ECHOES is a powerful song but with the screaming in it, it isn't quite my cup of tea but the instruments are great throughout the song as well as the vocals, but like I said, not quite my cup of tea. BEST LAID PLANS however has the most fantastic intro and is another very empowering track, I really enjoy it and it has a way of getting stuck in your head, the NANANA NANANA is fucking awesome, Just listen to it. THE LIE which is the final track is great, I love the intro, it's such a nice touch. It is just simply terrific and I feel as though the screaming blends well with the song. Lyrically it's amazing as well.

I've probably done the worst job ever at describing the album but regardless of that, I highly recommend that you check it out whenever it's released and be cool, buy it. It's absolutely worth it.

Hello my name is Jeremy, I'm a Virgo and like long walks on the beach. I also have a tendency to be very crazy, you could say insane. You know, restrained by a straight jacket with a muzzle on my face but isn't that what ROCK N ROLL is about? Going fucking crazy and having a good time despite what others may think or even creating revolutions? This is why Rock N Roll best sums up my life. If that bothers you then please feel free to write it down on a piece of paper, fold it up real nice, and shove it up your ass!
