A Lot Like Birds is a post-hardcore...or I dunno. These guys are pretty amazing, though. Kurt Ex-Vocalist from Dance Gavin Dance is in the band. Their new album isn't pretty "heavy"...not heavy in metal terms anyway. They released the most beautiful album I've heard all year, honestly. It isn't really metal, it's a soft and poetic type of album. I love it, great lyrics, wonderful musicianship and it all comes together so well. My favorite song has got to be "Shaking Of The Frame". I had to blog about these guys, because this is some of the most poetic music I've heard for awhile, it paints such a image in my head. When Vocalist Cory is yelling out vocals and lyrcis such as: "Like frantically rifling through all of your keys.
There's no wind behind you but something's moving the leaves." or "Although we left in a panic,
I took a look back at the house,
saw it turn on its axis and vanish.
The dust enveloped the sky, the splinters fell to the earth,
swam deep in the soil and came back to life.
It survived! It survived! It survived."
I can feel the passion in his voice. I can only imagine what the band put into this album, I can tell a lot of thought and emotions were but into it. They aren't really metal and this album isn't really hardcore, but if you're open minded I'm sure you will be able to appreciate this album for what it is. I'd seriously suggest checking these guys out.(Not really sure why this part is showing up as copy and paste, but I did type this part out. Only above are the lyrics.)
