The Theory Of Molecular Inheritance

Product Information

First of all we have to name the umpteenth new singer. With the magnificent Damian Wilson, we have a reason right away. This man has an incredibly beautiful and diverse voice and conveys emotions in an exceptionally clever way. If all the previous singers were just really good, Wilson is the icing on the cake for Arena, the singer they deserve.

What's also a reason for me lies in the fact that it is a concept album and that has produced the best albums so far and I think this album is as good as Contagionand The unquiet Skyand those also are classy albums. The songs fit together very well and there is a lot of dynamics in songs like Time Capsuleand The Equation and they slowdown in the right places. Especially in these pieces Wilson shows how easily he switches from full power to wonderful melancholy. Too bad the songs don't really flow into eachother. However, the breaks between the songs are minimal so you still get the feeling of a flowing whole. Field of Sinners" (6:27) has a cinematic quality as well as a Thin Lizzy "Jailbreak" sound and feel to it. Nice guitar by JOURNEY or BON JOVI or something like that (I wouldn't really know: I was never a fan or collector of that kind of Integration" (4:48) Damian singing some very powerful lyrics about the topic of nature v. nurture over piano and Part of You" (5:54) Damian sings "the world has done" over pulsing keyboard "strings" for the first minutelater synth. At the end of the third minute, Damian finishes, releasing the hounds to express themselves in a kind of The only downsides to note might be the abundance of mid-tempo and introspective songs, which occasionally

instrumental work, with Nolan and Mitchell shining as always, perfect on their respective instruments. thing I can actually nag about is the fact that Mitchell's solos could be more present and more plentiful, but The eleven songs form a whole, but can also be listened to separately. Still, I will listen to the album in its entirety in the future. As said before, it's all pretty heavy and that's why the quieter songs stand out so much and Under the Microscope in particular is the highlight of the album for me. Here Mitchell is at his best. But really weaker songs are just not on it and that's a great accomplishment.And then, Nolan and Mitchell, what a perfect combination these two make. As a keyboardist and composer, Nolan is the undisputed engine of Arena and he has once again created a wonderful range of beautiful sounds and parts with a few shorter solos but also a very long one. Super guitarist Mitchell has also become a very important link within the band and his playing is so diverse and so tasteful. He certainly gets room for a few of those mighty solos that have it all and really get under your skin, but mostly plays in the service of the songs. band ramps up for the final 90 seconds with its choral repetition of the song's title. A very solid studio song.

In case you can’t already tell, I’m a fan. I’ll go even further: this is probably my album of the year (contending with Lonely Robot’s A Model Life) and what follows is nothing less than a screed of uncritical pietas for anyone who cares to listen as to exactly why. Time Capsule" (5:30) incredible vocal performance--perhaps the best I've ever heard from prog veteran Damian Both Jowitt and Wrightson left the band in 1998, to be replaced by Ian Salmon and Rob Sowden, creating the band's most stable lineup to date (from 1998 until 2010). This lineup came to an end with Paul Manzi replacing Sowden in 2010. In 2011, Jowitt rejoined the band to replace the departing Salmon, leaving again in 2014 and being replaced by Kylan Amos. In July 2020, Manzi was replaced by Damian Wilson. [1] in. The music is rather unexceptional, the lyrics obtuse to me, and John Mitchell's solo is seasoned and fiery. Theto the neo-prog Olympus, where they should never have left. Just typical Arena in their finest fort. Nothing more, Thanks to the addition of an exceptional singer with a unique voice, Damian Wilson, known primarily for his work Some people I’ve spoken to feel that The Theory… is maybe more prog metal than Arena have been before, but I’d suggest that this album is a slightly heavied up return to the Contagion sound, capturing big bold riffs alongside the much more atmospheric storytelling grandioseness that The Visitor also illustrated so well. After early preconceptions I’d say that the marriage of Arena and Damian Wilson is perfection - he’s the best singer the band has had and this might be their best album to date - and those are both quite the accolades.

especially Wilson's performance here is almost immaculate! The Heiligenstadt Legacy (Goethe) is one of and his voice really shines on Arena's tenth studio album! Furthermore, The Theory Of Molecular Inheritance The album is made up of 11 songs and runs to just over an hour, which is kind of the upper edge of where a release’s length should land for me, but there’s no time wasted and things never lag. “Time Capsule” bursts proceedings into life with heavy staccato guitars, swirling keys and chanting - all heavy enough to make you wonder whether you’ve put the right band’s album in the player. Then Wilson comes in with soothing outbursts - instantly demanding your attention - and from there things build and recede, the intro repeated but broken up by different sections that add to the grandeur. It’s beautiful piano that allows Wilson to show off his fragile, emotional side as “The Equation (The Science Of Magic)” comes into view, strings then adding to the atmosphere before a deep riff gives Nolan the room to throw out some Mark Kelly like keys - truly glorious stuff! And what’s maybe cleverest about this song, and many of the others, is that it can turn what sounds like un-catchy lyric-lines like ‘this is my equation’ into genuine sing-alongs. The Theory of Molecular Inheritance is an imposing release, where a dark and smouldering sense of lyrical drama is perfectly conveyed in music which exudes a rich, dynamic plethora of ever-changing instrumental interactions and a thrilling creativity which continually propels the listener forward. For me, it is a most welcome and compelling celebration of Arena at their very, very best.

Confession" (2:20) sounds a bit Broadway theatric. Perhaps Damian has done Phantom or Cats. (4.25/5) It is a solid assumption that the UK Top Five chart singles (Sam Smith & Kim Petras, David Guetta & Bebe Rexha, Lewis Capaldi, One Republic, and Beyonce since you ask) at the time of writing this review in October 2022 will lyrically be variations on the themes of boy meets girl and shags said girl, is mean to our heroine, and how ruff it be in Da Hood. I say this with total confidence and safe in the knowledge that I do not need to expose my mind to said music to prove it. There are some elements of research for a music review which are asking a tad too much. However, 'The Theory of Molecular Inheritance' was released in 2022 to reignite hope for the band's fans! we are treated to Life Goes On, what a catchy chorus indeed, and surely an Arena masterpiece! The only programs injecting little or none of his own personality into his performances. When Damian is belting it he sounds
