Morristown,
NJ's Trophy Scars returns with an album that began as a 35-page treatment for a
screenplay. A treatment can be a
one-page synopsis or a much longer combination of an outline and synopsis. Here, the music and lyrics are as
cinematic as a movie.
It
is also a pop take and, toward the end, a more metal take on the progressive
metal band Mars Volta. I like this
album as far as it goes, but this band needs to develop more of their own sound
with a little less of Mars Volta.
Nevertheless, it's a good album -- interesting, thoughtful music and
lyrics, and, if you like Mars Volta, you’ll probably like this album, too.
