Music reviews of Out of Ashes
Music Review: Out Of Ashes by Dead By Sunrise
Rating: 4 Stars
Dead by Sunrise, Chester Bennington's side project, was formed when he wanted to bring out a number of songs that he thought were "darker and moodier" than what he had done for Linkin Park. At first thought, that may sound like ironic motivation because Linkin Park's songs are well known for being moody. Just take a listen through Given Up or No More Sorrow and you will hear the angst and anger Linkin Park expresses in their songs, so if Chester says these songs are darker and moodier, there must be something to it.
One listen-through, though, hints at the contrary. Songs like Let Down, Fire and Crawl Back In hold hope more than anything else.
Take Fire, for example, lyrics like "No need to hear your voice, or see your face to know that you are with me," are good words for those who misses a loved one, someone who may be fighting a war out there. It provides comfort in a hard-edged way and because of the rock rifts; it draws the listener into an emotional place where rock is a comfort rather than pointless noise. The same goes for Crawl Back In, the aptly titled song that represents the theme for the entire album. How Chester describes it as getting out of the funk of getting stoned and drunk all the time shows the introspective nature of the songs. How he wants out and to rise above the addictions, the evils accompanying them, is what this album is all about, and that is an admirable goal to have for an album of music.
Well, some of the songs in here do have that embittered feel. Condemned sounds like a song one listens to feeling sorry for one's self, with self-depreciating lyrics like "Treat me like an animal..." This album isn't exactly the type to listen to when you are down, per se. Songs like Into You, however, have a balance in which they express some sort of relief or recovery from an otherwise low point. So it isn't bad when it comes down to the overall package, it does have a fairly unified theme of salvation and redemption.
However, there seems to be a drag after a long listen through. Fire is a good start but it turns heavy come My Suffering, maybe even sooner. It doesn't help much when the grunge feel (intermingled with hard rock) becomes boring and mindless déjà-vu for the Linkin Park listener that, after a couple of listens, it all feels like copious and cheap amounts of rock jumbled up for the sake of putting together an album, even while listening to the better songs. The other members, Ryan Shuck and the rest from Julien-K, did a good job playing their hearts out in every song, but unfortunately they don't provide much musical diversity. Adding to that would be the presence of Chester's vocals in every one of these songs. It would've been better if Mike Shinoda, Chester's partner in vocals for Linkin Park, did something here to keep the feel fresh.
Verdict: Good grunge rock, but something you can really do without when it comes down to it, especially with bands like Coldplay or Maroon 5 around. The only reasons to get this album would be for the singles (Fire is fantastic), but don't expect a Zeppelin 5.
