About The Marrow Of A Bone
Amazon.com The Marrow of a Bone, Dir En Grey's follow-up to 2006's Withering to Death, finds the Japanese outfit on something of a creative decline. Many of the songs are weighed down by overly familiar riffs and a surprising lack of true dynamics. While the mellow, ethereal opener "Conceived Sorrow" was no doubt placed up front to somehow suggest a sense of maturity, it instead inspires a sense of listlessness that hovers over the rest of the record, robbing the album of the rock 'n' roll zeal one might expect from this sonically diverse and often exciting band. That's not to say that The Marrow of a Bone is not without its good moments: "The Fatal Believer" opens with a riff that could raise the heart rate of even the most jaded listener and "Grief" features some fierce and frightening vocal acrobatics that warrant serious attention. But the rest of the record creeps along with monochromatic tunes that leave the listener feeling a lack of inspiration or excitement. Jedd Beaudoin
