iTunes Music Review - Priest = Aura (5 out of 5)

  • Priest = Aura

    • Buy this album from Amazon.com
    • Buy this album from iTunes Music Store

    • Another of my all-time favorites, Priest = Aura is one of those rare albums where every song is simply fantastic, and a testament to how good pop-rock can be.

      Each song immediately reaches out and grabs you with either a great hook (Aura) or compelling lyrics (You’re so deluxe, you’re so divine/You’re so fifty light years ahead of your time/You’re a riddle, you’re a ripple/You’re the human sacrifice to the goddess of ice/Your hairdo is filled with diamonds and lice - "Ripple"), or both. The band's mix of unexpected bass lines and airy guitars blend to form the perfect backdrop to Steven Kilby's haunting vocals.

      I've listened to this album at least a hundred times, and it only gets more enjoyable with time.

      Favorite Songs: "Aura," "Ripple," "Paradox," "Mistress" "Feel," "Kings," "The Disillusionist," "Chaos" - Bryan Chaffin

     

    Bryan Chaffin has been a musician all his life, and enjoys both playing and listening to a variety of music. His interest in the iPod grew from covering Apple for The Mac Observer, but it's iPodObserver.com that will allow him to marry his passion for technology to his love for music.
