Customer Reviews of Life's Fairytale
Synth-Pop Excellence from Color Theory Once again Brian Hazard has recorded an exceptional album of synth-pop. "Life's Fairytale" covers a broad range of electronica, from the gentle melodies of "Here in My Heart" to the song long mistaken as a Depeche Mode b-side, "Ponytail Girl," Hazard weaves a tapestry of intelligent lyrics, powerful melodies, dance-beat rhythms and dreamy electronica. For the synth-pop fan, this album is a necessary addition to your collection.
Glad to be human
In this strange time we're living in, the music this album has to offer sends me into a pleasant sanctuary. With all the power pop, rapcore, nu metal, and hip hop that's placed in the Top 40, Brian Hazard offers us something that's honest, heartfelt, and thus, unique. His lyrics reflect something each and every one of us feels at times in our lives. Most bands sing about sex, drugs, broken hearts, and other repetitions we've all heard before, however, the listener here really gets the feeling that there is truth in Brian's lyrics. This album inspires young musicians like myself to get out there in the music world and approach music honestly, thank you Brian Hazard.
The perfect Color Theory album!
This album is a first for Color Theory, in that it's for the most part all electronic, with a minimum of acoustic piano in the songs. Which, to be honest, I've grown to really like. Not as much as the hybrid piano/electronic sound, but I've grown to like it a lot in and of itself. Some of these songs are actually from the 'Bad Song Of The Week' feature on Color Theory's webpage, and I really loved hearing more fleshed-out versions of many of those songs. Some of my favorite BSTOW's such as "Wishing I Had An Umbrella", "So Many Ways", and "End Of The Night" really shine here in a more polished (yet all-electronic) form. Most of the tracks from "Perfect For Awhile" are similar enough to the versions on that release to not significantly shift my opinion of the songs, other than liking them even more. The one song that was also on that release that I want to make additional comments on is "Cheerleader". After hearing this song for a while, and then seeing snippets of the movie "Bring It On", I must say it's the type song I can easily seeing a cheerleading routine being done to. That would be extremely funny, to see a group of cheerleaders performing to a song that undercuts a lot of the mindset that's implied to most cheerleaders. And I still say that Brian's cover of "I Felt The Pain" is the best cover version I've ever heard of any song... Now on to the remixes... The remix of "Outside Girl" was done by Brian, and it was featured on a remix compilation from Germany, I believe. It's a dance remake of the song, in a nutshell. And while it's enjoyable, it looses some of the emotion of the original song in the translation, I think. Next is a remix of "Now I Know", by Cosmicity. To be honest, Mark didn't have much to work with here, with the original being only piano and vocals. However, he's transformed the song into a synthpo masterpiece, while retaining excellently the feeling of restrained longing the original song conveyed. I could put this one on repeat for hours on end and never get tired of it... "Lost Distance Martyr" is remixed by Steve Sholtes, who has done a lot of work with Cosmicity, and also has his own project, Jealous Of Frank. It's a Drum and Bass treatment of the song, but it really works well. The booming deep bass line really helps the gloominess of the song come through. I like it! The next mix, by Paul R of Anything Box, is actually a rather trance-oriented take on the track. However, the vocal samples and snippets are used to perfect effect, and I really like the pitch-shifting effect used on the vocals. I always said Brian had amazing range vocally, but I never knew he could go that high. :-D Keith Gilliard faces a difficult task as he closes out the remixes and the album. Not only is he closing out the album, but he's remixing one of my all-time favorite Color Theory songs, "For Good". It ranges from Drum and Bass, to Trancey, and back to D&B. And although it's a totally different vibe from the original, emotion-laden ballad, it works! I like it! Simply put, if you're a Color Theory fan, and missed out on the promo album "Perfect For Awhile", you must have this. And if you're a synthpop fan, who's heard some CTheory material before, and been intrigued, this album is for you. I really can't find a reason for someone to not buy this cd. Highly recommended!!!
