Music reviews of The Crucible Of Man (Something Wicked Part II)
Music Review: "It's always been there inside of you..."
Rating: 5 Stars
There are a lot of things you can say about this album. You can talk about the massive concept that's been at least 8 years in the making finally coming to a triumphant conclusion. You can talk about frontman Matt Barlow taking the time out of his Jack Bauer duties to make an unprecedented comeback to the band. You could go into detail and talk about every riff, every melody, every solo, every note, chord, stanza, lyric, whatever. Maybe you could complain about how it doesn't sound like this or that Iced Earth album, or how it DOES sound like this or that Iced Earth album, or how the band has yet to stray from their classic metal roots to experiment with new and innovative musical avenues. Yes, you could do all of those things, and perhaps I could too. But instead, this is all I will say:
When I listen to "Come What May", and hear Barlow drive this stunning epic home with his beyond godlike vocals, I want to get on my knees and thank whatever metal gods may or may not exist within this universe for allowing this reunion to occur. A few years ago, I never thought I'd hear this album, as it is, and now that I've gotten it, I can take comfort in knowing that occasionally miracles do happen.
Now all I've got to do is see them live with Matt again. Then I'm pretty sure I can die happy.
Description of The Crucible Of Man (Something Wicked Part II)
While the 1998 album provided a general overview of the story, Jon Schaffer has been conceptualizing for well over a decade. The saga is being fully brought to life with the release of the back-to-back conceptual albums "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible Of Man." While both albums provide answers to mysteries the previous releases would create, the timeliness of the story in today s world is guaranteed to keep people thinking and guessing. Schaffer s ability to convey the central themes and events of the story without always revealing exactly why characters decisions are made and how events come to pass, will keep fans of the saga coming back as future mediums for the "Something Wicked" storyline are revealed.The Crucible Of Man is the culmination of the storyline. The absolute pinnacle of the American Metal Powerhouse s career, and happily the full-length return of singer Matt Barlow.
