SING-ALONG SONGS FOR THE DAMNED & DELIRIOUS

I have been a consistent Progarchives user/lover for a couple years now and by being a younger member of the so-called "Generation Z" I have been left with a plethora of music I have discovered due to this site. Although I have used this website on a reoccurring basis, for some strange reason it has only been until now that I have felt the desire to become a member and chip in my two cents.

With that being said, I felt it was necessary to have my first review be Diablo Swing Orchestra's second album and masterpiece, Sing-Along Songs for The Damned & Delirious. DSO blows my head completely the hell off every time I listen, which is frequently. This album, along with the rest of their discography, is hard-hitting, unique, energetic, and just down right fun to listen to. Even with incorporating many obscure instruments and uncommon aspects on this record, such as the operatic singing from AnnLouice Lögdlund, DSO still managed to create a cohesive string of songs rather than a humble-jumble of overwhelming randomness.

I really don't know if what I have typed out makes any sense whatsoever, nor do I care, since I don't believe that I could clearly articulate the love I have for this album and this band if I tried. I also have no idea how many people are still using this site, what the demographic is on here, or if anyone will read this review and hold my opinion as valid, but just know this: This album seamlessly incorporates aspects of metal, electronic, jazz, and opera into one gigantic prog treasure and it deserves a fuck-ton more respect than I've seen it get. Good day.
