Album Review
The band, April's Motel Room, the CD Black 14. The CD was released during the height of the alternative "revolution" while acts like Ween and The Flaming Lips took center stage with foolish lyrics and a rehashed, overused sound of the day. April's Motel Room must have been deemed too intelligent, too creative, or not angry enough, because the rationale behind the lack of support this CD received is not understandable. From the mass combination of sounds to the splashes of catchy yet intelligent lyrics, this CD stands out as a winner.
The major drawback might just be the lyrics, as they do have a heavy religious overtone, though not necessarily a straightforward meaning. That states what might be the force behind the band, and had it been simple anger, we'd all have loved it a couple years back, but it was just a bit more complicated than accepted at the time. So check out April's Motel Room. They just might surprise you, or better yet, make you stop and think.
