Equal Vision Records has been kind enough to do a contest with us! This is easily one of the best albums of 2010.Pierce the Veil’s new album, Selfish Machines, comes out June 22! That’s only NINE days from now. Vic, Mike, Jaime, and Tony have done a fantastic job and they truly deserve your support. I encourage you to spend the money and get Selfish Machines. The thing about Pierce the Veil is that they never stop at ‘just ok’, they go beyond to not only meet the expectations of their fans, but completely flabbergast them.
The outro will literally leave you with chills. I’m very impressed with the China symbols and drums. Kudos, Vic! The chorus is strong and I JUST LOVE GANG VOCALS. I absolutely adore the screaming in this track. The intense guitar line begins and sets somewhat of an epic “out with a bang” feeling. I love the title, it reminds me of Isles and Glaciers. The last song “The Sky Under the Sea” is a great ending to Selfish Machines.
My point here is that I don’t hate it, but it seems to be a little unnecessary. It works with the song, though I think they could have gone without it. Vic’s voice is so pure and beautiful by itself, you’d think they wouldn’t dare Auto-Tune it? Well, they did. Though I was disgruntled at first, I have come to embrace it. The dreaded program makes a cameo on the song “Million Dollar Houses (The Painter). I will tell you that Selfish Machines is mixed really well and will not bore you for a second. I could break down every detail about each song on this album, but I really don’t want to spoil it for you! The little surprises that PTV gifts to their listeners is worth finding out for yourself. The song ends just as unexpectedly as it begins. The guitars are turned down a lot in this song making room for the vocal effects and fancy piano breaks. I’m going to assume that the PTV fangirls are freaking out as we speak.
The intro is a distorted vocal invitation that says. This song will drag you in as soon as you press play. “Fast Times At Clairemont High” follows “Caraphernelia”. PTV really knows what they’re doing on Selfish Machines by mixing some surprises into the songs that will keep the fans and new listeners’ attention. Focusing more on the technical side of things, there is a raw guitar line that transitions into a nice acoustic section. Hardcore rarely finds its way into PTV songs, but Jeremy Mckinnon’s addition to “Caraphernelia” sets off Vic’s high vocals incredibly. I’m going to skip ahead to track number four, “Caraphernelia”. All-together this was a great song to introduce the album to the anxious PTV listener. Other than the captivating vocal work, the synth string in this song is something to take note of. The effects added to the vocals work beautifully and compliment the song more than they hurt it. Vic’s notorious vocals commence and immediately swallowed my heart amiably. Selfish Machines begins with the song “Besitos” (Spanish for ‘kisses’) which immediately hooks you in with a fast-paced drum line that continues into a sweet guitar riff. Selfish Machin es is out and it is ‘every man for himself’ to get a copy. Excitement grew as fans everywhere glued their ears to PTV’s Myspace page for song sneak-previews. Pierce the Veil‘s highly anticipated album Selfish Machines has been on everyone’s mind since word got out via Twitter that they were in the recording studio.
