Customer Reviews of Going to the Theatre

Good follow-up album!
For those who haven't yet heard this cd, or their first one, I really like the sense of dark eerieness present in many of their works. The song "All Ghosts Spend Their Time Alone", in particular, has that atmosphere. It opens up with a sort of pipe organ background, slow, hypnotic. Helm's voice is rich, depressing, and he sings mournfully, but at the same time, he doesn't try to make anything sound pretty, it's merely plaintative. I feel a special affinity in the lyrics. I can't get over this song. There are a lot of contradictions to be read within it...are "ghosts" really wasting their time as much as anybody else? Why does he watch all his friends in slow motion, "waiting for their eyes to close?" What is dream, what is reality?

The last line, in particular, really caught my attention, the way he sings "you gave me hope." The music grows discordant here, playing major against minor, and the words "you gave me hope" almost sound like a curse...

The rest of the songs are strong as well. "Midnight Mood Swing" is slightly sinister and is another of my favourite. Perhaps this is just my personal opinion, but I also hear a hint of Lycia in one of the songs...at least in the instrumental part.

A Cabaret Fortune Teller Haunts Me....
Once again Audra developes 10 mind blowing tracks that invoke thoughs and images from within the listeners soul and brings them down a path firmilar to all. Loss of innocence and personal evolution. The songs seem to have a harder edge but, keep the same passion as the Premier album. It leaves you wanting more. One of my favorite albums of all time. Going to the Theatre will always have something new to please you anytime you listen. The final song "Don't End This Time" (one of my personal favorites), desire to hear more. Personal favorites on this album: (once again all but here are my highlights) "In A Dark Room", "Fearless Peaches","Cabaret Fortune Teller" (Very Haunting a must hear). Audra's Going to the Theatre is a must have!!!! *****

a perfect follow up to their first album. audra has turned its sights on rockin' a bit harder and it shows. this album is a elequent depiction of the loss of innocence and the process of coming to terms with this loss. the songs varies greatly, from "midnight moon swing", which sounds heavily inspired by the likes of christian death, to the quiet, sad, and sweet "don't end this time". this is a very worth effort and proves that audra will only get better.
