Music reviews of NOLA
Music Review: One of those albums where every song is amazing and fits in with one another
Rating: 5 Stars
"NOLA" is an album of incredible consistency, where every song is a great one and the entire album flows perfectly. The album combines Southern rock with sludge metal and some melodic traces that flow nicely throughout to create an amazing song. Phil Anselmo is at the top of his game, belting out his signature vocals with passion and power. The lyrics accompany the feel of the music, as well. But what blows me out of the water is the GUITAR TONE! Holy smokes alive, the tone of the guitar is absolutely perfect. Crushing but not harsh, chugging but in an old-school way, and the perfect mix of high-end and low-end. As a musician myself, this album probably has my favorite guitar tone of many albums in the metal genre. It sounds great when they band rips into its amazing guitar solos too, which are plentiful here.
Standout tracks are the opening, grooving "Temptation's Wings", with a passionate, southern-styled solo. Then comes the equally as catchy, bludgeoning riff-rocker of "Lifer". "Pillars of Eternity" opens with some great drumming and goes once again into great riffs and solos. But what is probably my favorite track on the album is "Eyes of the South". In standard B-tuning, down two-and-a-half whole steps, the band plays a song that's equally as crushing as it is beautiful. The opening guitar solo is outstanding, going into a gigantic riff, with more melodic solos and a beautiful, clean section in the middle. Absolutely beautiful. Then back to the huge, crushing riffs to end this 5-minute masterpiece.
The band also shows more of its softer side with the straight-up Southern rock of "Stone The Crow". A heartbreakingly beautiful performance is given here, with melodic, complex riffs, passionate vocals and somber lyrics that make this moodier, sullen song just as great as others. However, the band picks it up to their energetic, monstrous sound with the seven-minute epic closer of "Bury Me In Smoke", with more B-tuned guitars that will get you up on your feet and banging your head.
Overall, this is one of the best metal albums of the '90s, a true classic in the styles of bands such as Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but more modernized. You really can't go wrong with this album if you're looking for a heavy album full of awesome riffs, melodic passages and solos, and a thick, southern twang. This album surely delivers the anthemic "cruising down the highway" sort of loud vibe one could hope for, especially for a summer blast through the stereo! Thanks for the time, and peace.
