Orphan Found
Posted June 18, 2008
By thirdsaint,
The lead singer, Shane, has two other projects besides Orphan Project and this one is no less amazing. This is great progressive rock here complete with pianos, violins, cellos, a choir, and more that flow together so very smoothly. To top it off, Shane has an amazing, passionate voice perfect for the heavy tracks like 'Orphan Found' and the first track as well as the phenominal, brooding 'Full and Lonely' and 'Coming Into View III'. The former of which has an excellent piano that eventually leads way into a powerful guitar riff used through the rest of the song. Make no mistake though, there's some heavy riffs here. The mix of styles and tempos are spread out about as good as possible to create some excellent continuity as well. Some albums can fall apart with bad track placement, or in this case, be built up by it.
This album is somewhat of a concept album covering the subject of being an orphan and finding one's identity. It truly is an emotional ride that can really create a connection between the listener and the band. Every song is dripping with passion and atmosphere and it's easy to see this is a heartfelt subject for Shane. Orphan Found is one underground Christian release that must be owned by anyone looking for more substance than the radio tends to give.
Gems of this album are: 'Coming Into View III: Gazing Down on Golden Streets', 'Full and Lonely', 'Orphan Found'
