Animal Kingdom
“All you want is a rainbow,” offers the refrain to Animal Kingdom’s dreamy, elegiac album opener ‘Chalk Stars’. “And all you get is the rain.” It’s a contrast that also offers an insight into the London-based quartet’s brand of melancholy music that counters pop hooks with unpredictable arrangements and a dark, reflective soul. Although Animal Kingdom’s members enjoy a long shared history, the band has operated as a serious prospect for the past two years. Initially acoustically focused (“Everyone talks over an acoustic set,” explains bassist Hamish Crombie. “So we just started writing louder songs to balance things out”), Animal Kingdom have relentlessly honed their craft . . .
Avenged Sevenfold
As musicians, the members of Avenged Sevenfold are virtuosos in a time when being accomplished artists seemingly means so little. They are inquisitive and never fully satisfied with their own work. They seek to grow and improve every day, regardless of the obstacles or costs involved. They are a rock band. They are rock stars. They are Avenged Sevenfold. Avenged Sevenfold, the album, is a self-produced effort. While the band shared co-production credit on 2005’s million-selling City Of Evil with Mudrock, this new album is solely their responsibility — and they’re primed to accept it. Released by Warner Bros. Records . . .
