This album seemed to be a major player in the 2003 Progressive music movement. Although very political sounding this was about the time when I feel that the music community finally recovered from the Post Alternative and Grunge styles and these new generation of bands grew out of their pop punk youth into a more mature and studious approach to music. Possibly because by this time with excess touring, relationship troubles, and whatever else ails these musicians it all goes with a saying, “Misery is inspirational”.
The transition that Radiohead’s went through from Ok Computer to Kid A is similar, in a sense. With their respective lyricists having the endless road as fuel for lyrics. As for the album it is 12 tracks (in the full version). The album starts quietly and then segues from quiet and serene to loud and even raucous at times. They produced two music videos that can give you a proper feel of how dark this album is.
The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
Sic Transit Gloria (Glory Fades) — One of my favorite music videos.
