iLiKETRAiNS - Before The Curtains Close
Part 1 and 2
Tuesday 30th of August 2005
The slowness to iLiKETRAiNS' debut single 'Before The Curtains Close' creates a mellow, almost depressing atmosphere, similar to that of Coldplay. The drum intro to Part 1 sounds a lot like some sort of execution march, which is so powerful that it creates sense of doom. However, there are no complaints where the music's concerned with good guitar work and epic drumming, although it did successfully manage to bring my mood down.
The epic-ness of iLiKETRAiNS gives their music the perfect feel for something that could be used on movie soundtracks, with emotional and insightful lyrics. Clearly talented men, iLiKETRAiNS are dynamic and put a lot of emotion into their songs giving them an edginess, especially with the strong lead vocals.
Unfortunately though, despite the passionate, involved melodies of Part 1 and 2 of 'Before The Curtains Close', both parts tend to blend into one another making it hard to distinguish where one ends and the next begins - but perhaps that's why they're called Part 1 and 2.
