Music reviews of David Comes to Life
Music Review: Reaching For The Sky
Rating: 5 Stars
Try to move beyond the punk/hardcore label this band has. They've pretty much transcended those genres at this point, and this album might be something of a game changer for them. The main problem for some people willl be the vocals of Pink Eye. Bellowed in the tried and true tradition of Henry Rollins (circa Black Flag) and early Bob Mould, they are not cookie monster, more pissed off and young.
Now, this is supposedly a rock opera, but, as with all of those, the story is rather confusing (I'll leave that description up to others), and, really, once the guitars kick in, the story (survival, redemption, trying to move forward) becomes more about feel than words.
About those guitars. Multi-layered, symphonic,galvanizing and always serving the context of these amazing pop songs. The band as a whole is so finely tuned into one another that they move like a tank, a very fast one. I'm 57, and believe me, there were times when listening to the sheer oomph of these songs made me wonder if I was too old to form a band.
And really, that's what this is all about, the redemptive power of anger transposed into reach for the heavens rock that in it's chaos is utterly in control and ready to move you. Music that can save you and remind of what's good about being alive.
Of course it's too long, too ambitious, sometimes impenetrable, but music that takes risks often risks failure, and this band knows that it's the failures that make you strong and it's the failures that give you heart. Really, in it's reach and go for it guts, this is the best album of it's kind since Zen Arcade.

Description of David Comes to Life
Their third album, the 18-song, 78-minute David Comes To Life, is a rock opera, an album set to a play. Though no less monumental, it is far more melodic than their break through The Chemistry of Common Life. There are more female vocals, which work in perfect contrast to Damian Abraham's highly effective wounded bull growl.Alternative Rock CDs
