In A Darkened Room – Sorrow (Album – In A Darkened Room)
Genre/Influences: Dark-Wave.
Format: Digital, CD.
Background/Info: This is the debut album of the Texas (USA) based formation In A Darkened Room. They previously released different singles.
Content: The main sources of inspiration aren’t that difficult to find. “Sorrow” perfectly reflects the dark mood of 80s Dark-Wave & Post-Punk. The songs are rather slow accentuating the moody side which is mainly created by guitar playing and strings.
+ + + : This is a honest debut album featuring a few noticeable tracks. I want to mention “Sleep Again” for the morose sounding strings and “Water Under The Bridge” which is a cool, last, cut featuring a noticeable guitar solo.
– – – : The songs remain pretty linear so a bit more diversity would be a true improvement for further songs.
Conclusion: I can’t say that I’ve been totally convinced but this is a sincere debut full length.
Best songs: “Water Under The Bridge”, “Sleep Again”, “Final Vows”.
Rate: 7.
