An Amazing CD from an amazing band! I own all of their CDs and none of them have been less than fantastic. I personally loved every minute of this CD. I love Chevelle!.
Ehh
This one has some of the same elements, but things have changed. Loved these Chi-town guys' last two records to death. And I can't tell what. But for some reason, the number of catchy, memorable songs has seriously decreased. The album has strong points, but a couple more weak ones.
A hidden gem of a rock album.
Vena Sera is by far one of my favorite albums. I know very few people who have heard of Chevelle and it boggles my mind as to why they haven't. I have a ton of music and for some reason I will always come back to this and listen to it when I can't figure out what to listen to on my way to work because it will always wake me up or calm me down. Another review mentioned listening to it more than twice and I agree, this is the type of album that after the first 2 listens it gets better and each song starts to stand out on it's own but in a 'magic-eye' kind of way. You know those old magic-eye pictures where you look at it for awhile and see 'a pony' or a pirate ship? Not the best description but the only one I can think of at the moment. I know that sounds negative but I swear it's really the only way to describe how great this album really is. I always seem to hear something new when I listen to this album and that for me makes it a easy and adventurous listen. Perfect driving music and a all around great Rock Album. It never disappoints me and I have yet to play it enough and I think I've listened to it close to 500 times or more. .
Chevelle, Vena Sera, alternative rock, metal
They rock on with their own unique style. Chevelle music is again, strong, intense, moody,deep. . . great listening anytime. .
Chevelle Returns To Form (With Some Bad Friends)
" It is edgier, mixed more professionally, deeper and flat out brilliant. First of all, let me say that this album is a HUGE turn for the better from "This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In. Usually and album this good is a straight 5 for me, but I feel I need to dock a star for the song "Humanoid. " I know Chevelle is hard rock and sometimes sing of angry things. . . but this song is flat out hostile. The f-word was SO unneeded and I think Chevelle should take flak for alienating their more conservative fans.
That being said, GREAT album! (Remember you can always self-edit or delete "Humanoid" all together!).
