Ы
Ы In a wash of mediocrity in hard rock (Breaking Benjamin, Nickelback, Theory
Ы of a Deadman), there is Chevelle. There has always been Chevelle. They’ve
Ы stuck around churning out ridiculously consistent albums (even if they never
Ы really stretched any boundaries), and have found moderate success with this
Ы formula. Yet, on Chevelle’s latest release, “Sci-Fi Crimes”, it’s a bit
Ы different for Chevelle. They’ve torn down a lot of these clichй boundaries
Ы that has burdened them, and ended up releasing one of the most solid,
Ы consistent, and strong hard rock albums in recent times.
Ы
Ы Nearly abandoning their clichй loud/soft rock dynamics and angst-ridden
Ы vocals that they’ve literally worked over throughout their career, Chevelle
Ы has evolved into something no one expected. Suddenly, Chevelle is brooding,
Ы dark, aggressive, and completely immersive. The track all still sound pretty
Ы obvious at first, but songs like “Sleep Apnea” and “Roswell’s Spell” have
Ы this slickly hidden, darkened tempo that includes, dare I say it, a bit of
Ы rhythm. The album’s most unexpected tracks, the completely acoustic
Ы “Highland’s Apparition” and the short “Interlewd” just expel this uneasy,
Ы foreboding tone that is absolutely surprising, especially coming from
Ы Chevelle.
Ы
Ы With all this “progression”, Chevelle hasn’t necessarily forgotten how to
Ы make a smash hit radio single, however. “Shameful Metaphors” and “A New
Ы Momentum” are classic Chevelle material destined for radio exploitation. Yet,
Ы “Shameful Metaphors” is just too damn good to ever become radio trash. It’d
Ы still be amazing even if “Kidz Bop” covered it or it ended up on “Now! That’s
Ы What I Call Music”. The constantly building groove, Tool inspired guitar
Ы riff, Pete’s heartfelt vocals, and the unusually dark lyrics just altogether
Ы form the best song Chevelle song of all time. In fact, “Shameful Metaphors”
Ы is so good the rest of the album tries it's damnedest to stay on the same
Ы level raised by this song. The typical rocker,“Jars”, which keeps the album
Ы from being perfect, would have been amazing on a different album, but when
Ы you have songs as strong as "Shameful Metaphors" it's nothing. Looking on to
Ы the rest of the album, the quick-sped grit of “Mexican Sun” just exhumes pure
Ы adrenaline (it’s a hell of a workout song), and “Letters From a Thief” is a
Ы great track that has a pretty awesome guitar solo with an oddly dark
Ы atmosphere surrounding the sound.
Ы
Ы My biggest problem with Chevelle’s past albums is that they always seemed so
Ы mechanical. It was hard to hear a band through all the slick production.
Ы “Sci-Fi Crimes” has all the trademarks of the polished classic “Wonder What’s
Ы Next”, the noise and human sound of “Point #1” without the ridiculously
Ы mechanical sound of “Vena Sera”. “Vena Sera”-not to say it wasn't
Ы good-suffered from the same issues the Smashing Pumpkins’ ambitious “MACHINA”
Ы album had. That album was just so produced it didn’t have any spirit. Whether
Ы it be Pete’s unrestricted vocals, the vintage guitar sound, or Chevelle
Ы actually making an album that sounds like an album and not just a collection
Ы of ***-kicking songs. But “This Circus” finally shows Chevelle developing an
Ы ability to make an epic closing track as they slowly strip away instruments
Ы towards the album’s end. It’s the first Chevelle album in which the closing
Ы track actually sounds like it's actually supposed to close out the album.
Ы There’s plenty human touch, as Pete sings unrestrained and the guitars roar
Ы sloppily, similar to their debut. Even then, this album is so much more
Ы refined and eclectic then, for example, albums like their repetitive debut.
Ы
Ы At the end of the day, Chevelle have settled into a niche, and found that,
Ы much like the Deftones found with “White Pony”, hard rock isn’t a black hole.
Ы Instead, the Loefflers discovered that if you play hard rock right, it can be
Ы accessible and lead to stardom but still kick plenty of *** while sounding
Ы experimental. Chevelle essentially just blew the doors off of the hard rock
Ы scene and made life a whole lot harder for their peers. That’s how awesome
Ы “Sci-Fi Crimes” is.
