The much-anticipated follow-up to 's, is a double-disc achievement of four works (each with multiple parts): 'Storm,' 'Static,' 'Sleep,' and 'Antennas to Heaven.' It is a windfall for any fan of ambient pop, orchestral rock, space rock, or simply lush string arrangements who understands how powerful love, melancholy, and frustration can be. The main complaint voiced by critics of 's music is that their works just repeat the same pattern: start out sparse and slow, build-build-build, crescendo. While there are certainly crescendos, there is no such predictable pattern repeated among the works on - it's loaded with dynamics, unexpected sections, strong emotions and beauty.
The album opener, 'Storm,' is a leap for that, alone, makes this release worth getting. It's a rapturous work that rises with a potent melancholy, driven by heartrending emotions. 'Storm' vents a powerful frustration (each listener can insert their own reasons why) with majestic screams of strings, guitars, and layers, resulting in a climactic and passionate soaring.
It eventually winds down into an exhausted aftermath of piano, underlying drones, and frustrated rants. The second piece, 'Static,' is a wandering, isolationist piece of bleak expanses shaded with darker emotions, but the remaining two works raise the album back up to the impressive standard set by the opening cut, though with less furor and even more loveliness. 'Sleep' opens with an elderly gentleman reminiscing about Coney Island, and his frank and amusing narration briefly recalls the recordings of and scenes from the documentary Vernon, FL. This narration is followed by a slow and melodic piece featuring a pseudo-theremin effect amidst all of the other instrumentation.
'Antennas to Heaven' opens with someone playing acoustic guitar, singing 'What'll We Do with the Baby-O,' soon washed over with sound, which then gives way to a brief chorus of glockenspiels, and on.During most of, musical and emotional opposites alternate as regularly, and naturally, as breathing: delicate string work and rock-out guitar and drums, spoken word and walls of sound, gracious and possessed, tip-toes and cliff-diving, dark hallways and blinding sunshine.
As it says in the title. One of my favourite albums I love the post-rock sound of the album, and was one of those albums that got me into the genre. I suggested it to my friend and they said 'I don't get it, what is the whole concept of the album' looking at the liner notes and the song titles is 'storm: supposed to be the beginning of a war, 'static' the aftermath of the war, 'sleep' reminiscing before the war and how much better it was 'The man talking about coney island on the beginning of disc 2' and 'antennas to heaven: being the people dying being sent to heaven?I'm sorry if that didn't make sense LYSF and ADBA are some of my favourite albums and I would like to know more about them.
I've always interpreted this album as being a metaphor for one's life:'Storm' starts out as a positive and uplifting force; similar to how a child sees the world as vast and imaginative.beautiful and vibrant. Most of all, innocent. However, as 'Storm' ends, the tone changes considerably, leaving a sense of disappointment and hopelessness, like how the child grows up and sees the harsh realities of the world.' Static' is the person now as a young adult.turning into a cynical and cold person, who works 9 to 5 everyday, being restrained by society, while being force-fed the cruelties of humanity on a daily basis.' Sleep' is the turning point, when the young adult breaks free of the monotonous tasks and starts to do what he/she truly loves and helps out as many people as he/she can. This could lead to marriage, kids, connecting with others on a mature level.now that the adult sees the good and bad, he/she recaptures the energy lost years ago.' Antennas to Heaven' represents the elder; passing along the lessons learned from his/her life and finally accepts his/her fate and can die knowing their lives had purpose..
