Music reviews of Truthless Heroes

Music Review: A must-have for those looking for intelligent rock music...
Rating: 5 Stars

1. Little Green Men [8/10] - This song introduces you to the character the album centers on. At first listen, it's a little strange, but this is probably one of the best songs on the album.
2. Caught In The Middle [8/10] - I like the use of the two sides of a person and how people like one side but hate the other and have a hard time understanding that we are individuals.
3. Know What It Means [7/10] - I haven't figured out exactly what this song means (I admire Andrew's complex songwriting), but it's very good.
4. Salem's Suburbs [9/10] - Another unhappy part of this story: his whole future has been laid in front of him, when the powers that be don't even know or care who he is.
5. ...A Word From Our Sponsors [2/10] - This particular filler helps you understand the term "truthless heroes" but it's very difficult to catch behind the music...
6. S.M.C. [6/10] - I personally see this as a song about the corruption of the church today. Although there may be a different meaning, the song talking about altars and steeples and sanctuaries being turned into factories makes me believe that is what the song is talking about. Again, that's only an opinion.
7. Team Black [7/10] - I particularly like the musicianship on this track, but the song seems to be about the character in the "story" being taken advantage of and how he has become dependent on the truthless heroes, so he continues to come back.
8. Your Heroes Are Dead [9/10] - This is another one of my personal favorites. My opinion is that the character realizes the (truthless) heroes never really existed and weren't heroes at all.
9. ...To Brighten Your Day [2/10] - See Track 5
10. Another Boredom Movement [7/10] - Another song about the T.H. taking advantage of the citizens and using them for their own purposes.
11. Bottom Feeder [6/10] - I really don't like this song, but it's very different from the others. I suppose that the character finds true love and she isn't like the others and that she is just like him; a person that realizes the lack of truth these heroes are bringing.
12. Shelter Me * Mercury [5/10] - I really don't like this song... I don't know exactly why, I just never did like it.
13. ...And Help You Sleep [2/10] - See Track 5
14. Last Meal [/10] - This is another rather disturbing song (perhaps about cannibalism???) and definitely not one of my favorites... and it doesn't help that Mark Saloman sounds sort of like a mix of Ozzy Osbourne and David Draiman...
15. Soma [8/10] - This begins the tragic ending to the story... Very strange, but beautfifully crafted at that...
16. Hollow Again [10/10] - The best song on the album in my opinion. This is the unhappy ending that Andrew talks about on the Enhanced CD portion of this album. A very tragic ending to a tragic story, but a wonderfully crafted ending at that.
17. ...With Regards, T.H. [0/10] - I didn't like the way the band linked "Hollow Again" with this track, and has little significance in my opinion.

This album is what some would say biased, but I personally prefer creatively opinionated, toward the corruption of the music industry (as well as other forms of media). The band will continue their fight against the corporate music industry by releasing an EP independently (without the help of Tooth and Nail or Atlantic Records) through their website later this summer. If you are in any way close-minded and aren't open to others opinions, leave this album on the shelf. If you're open to very creative material, you must pick up this album...
