One listen is all it takes...

By mercury,
I prefer to review albums that I have listend to often and grown familiar with. I'm only in the midst of my second listen of this cd, so don't expect me to get into too much detail about the nuances of the songs. So why would I want to review a cd right out of the gate, anyway?
Because it is that good!
I've always liked Kids in the Way's songwriting, and Dave Pelsue's vocals, but I always felt the execution fell a bit short of their potential. Their last album, [i]Apparitions of Melody[/i], leaned too heavily on screaming. With the addition of [i]Fiction[/i] (which makes a reprisal on [i]Masquerade[/i]), to the special edition of [i]Apparitions[/i] the Kids gave us a glimpse of the musical depth that they could achieve.
And achieve they did! [i]Masquerade[/i] delivers a refined sound, amazing guitars, and a broader approach then before. And it does so without sacrificing any of the raw energy and passionate vocals that make the Kids who they are! This album is a true masterpiece!
