\"\"<\/a>Lacuna Coil – Dark Adrenaline<\/strong>
\nRelease Date<\/strong>: January 24, 2012
\nHighlights<\/strong>: Trip The Darkness, Against You, Kill The Light, Give Me Something More, Upside Down, End of Time, I Don\u2019t Believe In Tomorrow, The Army Inside, My Spirit<\/p>\n

Every since hearing their 2002 album Comalies<\/em> thanks to my buddy Spoob, I have been a huge Lacuna Coil fan. \u00a0With each album the band seemed to experiment with new songwriting techniques in order to somewhat break a mold that they very well could have been casting. \u00a0With each album, Lacuna Coil experimented with different sounds and different ways of doing things. \u00a0For some fans, they felt that the band should have made another Comalies<\/em> but really? \u00a0With the exception of AC\/DC fans, who wants to hear the same album 5 times? \u00a0Dark Adrenaline<\/em>, Lacuna Coil\u2019s 6th and latest album, has the band once again doing what makes me love them so much; taking chances and not making any apologies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dark Adrenaline<\/em> has all the elements of everything that worked in their favor on both Karmacode<\/em> and Shallow Life<\/em>.\u00a0 The catchy and melodic aspects of Shallow Life<\/em> are there in songs like \u201cGive Me Something More\u201d, \u201cTrip The Darkness\u201c and the more heavy and dark personalities of songs like \u201cThe Army Inside\u201d and \u201cUpside Down\u201d are reminiscent of their Karmacode<\/em> album. \u00a0The production is stellar and the performances are the same top notch performances one would come to expect from Lacuna Coil. \u00a0The only song that didn\u2019t do it for me was their cover of REM\u2019s \u201cLosing My Religion.\u201d \u00a0Their cover of Depeche Mode\u2019s \u201cEnjoy The Silence\u201d on Karmacode was so outstanding but this one just kind of falls flat in a huge way. \u00a0Lacuna Coil definitely redeems themselves with \u201cMy Spirit\u201d which is not only a great closer but probably one of their best songs to date.<\/p>\n

In all honesty, this album as a whole was really enjoyable for me. \u00a0I wouldn\u2019t call it their best album, but Dark Adrenaline<\/em> definitely proves that Lacuna Coil is still very capable of putting out some quality material. \u00a0\u00a0Lacuna Coil makes the music that truly makes them happy. \u00a0No matter how much their fans may bitch about it not being Comalies<\/em>, the fact that they continue to support and cheer the band on shows that Lacuna Coil just may know their audience better than they know themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
