NOAH debut album review

Written By yudha on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 | 11:01 PM

What will happen with the new album from a band that has just changed the name? What are the characteristics of his songs also changed or the same as before?
That's a question I had when they wanted to buy the album "As should" belong to the NOAH cover images reminiscent cover of "Nowhere to Go" belongs to Endah N Rhesa and "Roses" by The Cranberries is.
As the opening number, there is the "King of My Country" and the creation of Ariel Uki colored cheers than 200 friends Kebonwaru Ariel in detention. Songs about the movement's call for the country's future change and the nation to become more clear and powerful sound that more special by the presence footage of former President Sukarno's speech at the beginning, middle, and end of the song. That's interesting.
As "Half of Me" created by David and Ihsan relied Nurrachman that this album is quite very easily digested by ear. Suitable to attract listeners to the music of Indonesia as a whole resurgence of a musical group consisting of Ariel (vocals), Uki (guitar), Reza (drums), Lukman (guitar), and David (keyboards) this.
So is the song "Alone Again". For some people would immediately feel familiar with the song's creation Kyoto Ryan. No need to wonder prolonged. Yes, the song was never sung by the late Tim Christensen around 1993 and included in the album of the same name.
In addition to some of the songs before, in fact there are a number of other songs are no less potentially favored by many people. But, the songs may need to be played more than once could only sound more palatable. Call it like "Life's for you, Dead Without You," "Woke Myself", "No Longer Just", and "Poetry Adinda".
Overall, the style of music this album does not sound much different from their previous works while still using the name Peterpan. So is Ariel singing style, is like.
But there is something else that feels a bit different. Is it? Lyric.
I once asked a friend, what is the most interesting of the songs that brought Ariel and his companions? At that time, my answer is that often times the lyrics are not common, even for common topics. Just look at songs like "Above Normal", "Behind the Cloud", "Waiting for the Morning", "What's With you", "Erase your tracks", and "Sally Alone".
However, in the debut album from NOAH, I feel it's rather difficult to find the song lyrics like that. Most of them are dominated by shades of heartbreak song, with lyrics like a man losing his beloved partner. Full of praise and flattery.
Perhaps one reason is because of the content of the album is no longer dominated by the work of Ariel as usual, especially for the affairs of song lyrics. If considered further, ten songs on this album, at least five of them were just words involving the cultivation of the vocalist.
The rest is a creation of the other personnel. In addition, there is also Ryan d'Masiv who wrote the lyrics for "Life's for you, Die Without You".
Is the content of the next NOAH album will also be like that? Needs to be proven later.
