Silver Dust
Lullabies

I have reviewed two of the three previous albums by Silver Dust, this is the fourth. This new album is called Lullabies, and it is gifted with a white cover, I like that as there is not enough white covers in heavier music. The cover itself isn’t too magnificent though, it works but there are many better ones. Looking back at Silver Dust they have never impressed me particularly; both was barely given a rating of four and I cannot say that I had particularly high hopes for this new one. But it has been given a fair chance and I have heard what it has to offer, or have I really? It is an album that I tend to lose interest in quite quickly.

It is the same kind of gothic styled heavy rock as before, the vocalist has a typical voice for the genre. It is nothing that stands out about the album stylewise or otherwise, anyone hearing it will get a sense of déjà vu as it sounds like their previous two albums and many other gothic albums. Not much variation, and it feels like it is a bit long this album.

This is even less appealing than their previous efforts, it is an album without appeal, an album that doesn’t bring out any positive emotions. The best thing about the songs is that they work in an elevator, otherwise there is nothing positive to say about it. There are already way too many indifferent and nonoffensive albums out there, I actually prefer the awful album by Stabbing (that I just reviewed) rather than this one – that album at least has the decency to evoke emotions rather than just a sense of resignation. When I hear albums like this too much, I lose my will to live, what is the point of littering the world with these meaningless pieces of music? it is like the equally senseless consumption that ruins our planet, it is moronic.

There is no point caring about this album, unless possibly if you were positive towards the previous two. This is even more indifferent and boring than their previous efforts, I find it hard to see that anyone wants to release something like this. Isn’t there anyone in the music business that asks what’s the point, someone questioning making music just another fast fashion type of thing. Listen and throw away, there is no meaning here – just another meaningless collection of pointless songs. Time to sell the instruments and do something useful instead?
