MANIKIN PARADE

Music is Music, so it dosen't matter who plays the instrumments, so we have a multinstrummentalist called Clay withrow and A excelent drummer: Brandon Lopez, and they made this good album with band influences like Dream Theater, Pain of salvation and of course their own style. I have to admmit that Clay have an amazing voice, and fits very well in the music, so in the lyrics aspect there is so much to think, and the lyrics are very deep as well. parts like "Can you hear their little feet? Like dolls dancing into hell, Not enough aisles to feed our need,Can you hear God through that iPod?" so much To think.

The music presented on this albums goes in to the metal side, progresive side and melodic vocal parts, a lot of piano sections, that constantly the piano parts are the basis of the sound and the melodic voices, good drumms and there are a few good solos of electric guitar, sometimes i think that in the Solo section something is missed, it sounds a little like "blank spaces".

Handful of Dreams is a very nice and melodic Song, a lot of Hope we can apreciate on this song,the intro sounds like an orchesta or something. good song.

Disorder Quotient: This song Kick ass, the bass is amazing in the intro, and the vocal melodies are very great, the voice of this man is awesome , very dramatic, energetic, i wish if clay some day can sings in Dream theater band, ir will be Nice, the keyboards on this are very dark and mellow.

Vangough debut album makes a big step in Music, with a lot of good spectactions for their nexte realeases,I hope the Band continue in making music and not just remain in oblivion like anothers bands.The elements of the music of vangough will attract those who like catchy choruses, a melodic and accessible music, with harmony digestible, changes at key moments,An album in which at times sounds a bit theatrical at times and like metal and pop stuff, epic and never look boring, Although the duration of the whole album is about 70 minutes.

This is a good debut album and for that reason i will give it four stars.
