Emilie Autumn - Opheliac
Emilie Autumn, sounds just as catchy as Spongebob Squarepants doesn�t it? I doubt that she�ll make just as much money as the guy behind that ingenious cartoon, but she is giving it a shot with her album Opheliac. Let�s find out what she has in store for us.
The first impression I got from her MySpace was that I could really dig this stuff. I only heard the track that she had on the Saw III soundtrack, which is pretty cool. Emilie Autumn herself sings and plays the violin. Her talent was picked up by Courtney Love, you know, that dehydrated piece of shit that thinks she should receive money from the Kurt Cobain legacy, which got her more in the picture and probably fucked her up for good. She used to play just classical music, but she eventually got into industrial, gothic and metal and other dirty music, shame on her!
Opheliac is actually an album from 2005 which is being reissued to death like all her other material. At least that�s the impression I got from her website. As for the music, I�d like her to stick just to her violin to be honest. She isn�t a real good singer, but she tries a lot of hard stuff with her voice which makes the whole sound a bit messy and below mediocre actually. The so-called industrial beats bore me to tears and frankly annoy me from time to time. The classical parts (coming from strings and a celesta and such) are the only aspect that I really dig. Overall the songs don�t grab me either, excluding just a few parts.
Therefore I must conclude I will never play this album again. But I must say that a marketable product as this will surely get some people (mainly little girls that like Evanescence and Mortiis) interested. I for sure am disappointed, because if the songs were more coherent this could rule. I blame it all on Courtney Love and her filthy appearance. Hole!
