Mr Review (Spectre) Gives This Ablum 4./5 Stars
"Life's New Adventure", the second installment in Poe's epic saga propulses us into a medieval tale of love, valor and glory. An album which doesn't beat around the bush, "LNA" features 10 tracks that total just around 27 minutes. Again focusing on easy listening punk ballads, we do notice a slightly darker side on this release which parallels the mindset and emotions evoked in the storyline. For those who might be unfamiliar with the Hero of War saga, both available albums include a colorful fable of legendary proportions.
What is brilliantly achieved with "Life's New Adventure" is the balance between moods. Right from the opening track, "Reliving the History", we immediately notice a different atmosphere versus the previous Hero of War chapter. Both "The Truth" and "The Gate" as well as the title track all follow up on this with aggressive tones and some heavier drumming."Battle Against Hell", which is easily the darkest song, pushes this concept even further with interesting chromatic scales that bring it's title to life. As for the remainder of the album, it is very much in line with Poe's signature style which can be defined as joyous and catchy.
Some of the negative points with "Life's New Adventure" are the prominent uses of two note chord progressions, which tend to drag on too much in areas. The drumming which is a tad bland, and somewhat identical throughout the record also adds to the element of repetitiveness. These points do not however overlook the fact that each song is solidly constructed and that the album is flawless from a technical standpoint. Poe's step in a new direction is appealing and offers something different in terms of overall sound which indeed makes "Life's New Adventure" an album that makes you look very forward to the grand finale of the Hero of War saga.
SPECTRE'S WORD OF ADVICE: @Poe, this album does seemed "rushed" at moments which is ascertained by your own information regarding it. When there's no deadlines that need to be met, don't feel the need to hastily come up with material.
