The Weight Of Your Love review

Posted : 10 years, 10 months ago on 30 June 2013 03:28

Joy Division were absolute protagonists.
In this work, however, the guitars are sovereign, immaculate in every aspect and most of the songs were recorded live. The sounds are warm, broad arches he make the delicate melodies and fluid, like a caress donated to give comfort to a troubled soul from the power of love. The disc opens with "The weight", a song intense when Tom's voice is more intense than ever: an introduction that captures well the darker sides of both the sounds of the texts. It continues with "Sugar", a song that goes straight to the stomach. Smith sings "It breaks my heart to love you," in many cases the weight of love is this: to be able to withstand the force of a feeling so powerful as to be at the end of the story, exhausted. The third piece of the tracklist is the single which preceded the album, "A ton of love": melody, rhythm, crescendo, it is a powerful touch after two songs very reflective. A song by journey, mental and physical references to REM, U2 and very rock 90s. It continues with "What is this thing called love", a song that digs deep and enriched by the falsetto of Tom, who has competed in the high notes for the first time, and "Honesty" in which choirs are starring together to the rhythm of the drums, gentle but firm. The arches of "Nothing" make the melody of the piece inspired as never before. The morning breeze that caresses the face, that feeling of happiness as strong as weak, that I want to scream, so fills you. "Every talk with you the joy arouses in me," sings Tom. Then there are "Formaldehyde", where the guitar and drums come together in perfect harmony, and "Hyena", in which the disillusionment and disappointment felt towards who you loved so much are accompanied by a sound full and engaging. "Two hearted spider" is a dreamy ballad, dreamy, gentle and very soft while "The phone book" is melodically close to the rhythms of country and blues, with acoustic guitar and vocals scratchy. The disc closes with "Bird of prey", so many guitars and backing vocals on a tune slightly more pop than the rest of the disc.
Surely "The weight of your love" is a hard reflective and really well thought out by the band. "Talking about love is like dancing about architecture", but the editors have been able to do properly.
