I Fell in love with Alesana's first album "On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax", and was so excited when I found out they had released another album that i bought up immediately. This cd did not blow me away like the first mostly because it is much more generic and has less of the melodic breakdowns I loved from the first cd. Overall it seems as though this album was rushed and does not have the same feel as the first, although i have read that it may have been focused on making a good concert. The bottom line is if you want to get into alesana get their first cd, this one has great moments but on frail wings is solid all the way through and has more of their softer side which i enjoyed more than the up beat almost poppy side that they show off in this cd.
Greek mythology,Entire albums based on Edgar Allen Poe poems,beautiful singing,aggressive angry growls. They blend so beautifully I still love and enjoy alesana's music over a decade after discovering. From sad pre-teen to music loving adult they've remained in my life and I really appreciate this band!!! I'm not afraid to admit I've cried while enjoying their albums :) If this review sways a single person into checking them out that's amazing and is all I want!

OK so this CD is good but not the best. my personal favorite is The Emptiness album cause it's about Edgar Allen Poe's last poem "Annabel Lee (1849)". his poems are a little darkened nature so yeah that's why i love it. and "on frail wings of vanity and wax" is wonderful too!!! but this CD is their heaviest one yet. so if your looking for the calm singing parts don't expect it. cause it wont be there!
Excatly what my daughter wanted. She loves the band Alesana and has got to meet them. This added perfectly to her collection. Thanks much!
