Although having already released two by Metal Blade' standards successful albums, Lizzy Borden were still hoping for a chance to make it really big. In Lizzy Borden's own words the band "really wanted to get on MTV" and with "Me Against The World" the band achieved just that. Unsurprisingly, the songs on "Visual Lies" take a more commercial turn, but the band stays true to it's roots. No matter how many times it was labeled a sell-out album, "Visual Lies" still employs a distinct sense of metal songwriting only with more emphasis on melody than on unbridled energy. Compared to the band's earlier, over-the-top style, Lizzy Borden toned down their act a great deal, now favouring mid-paced tempos, vocals focused more on memorability than hitting high notes and a far more glossy production. Thankfully, during the course of making two albums the band also picked up a healthy amount of pop sensibility and there are more than enough hooks around to keep things interesting. Read more ›› |
