The Classic Crime
The Silver Cord
The Silver Cord is named after the thin, bright thread people who have had near-death experiences claim to see, the thing that connects their physical body to their soul and is severed in death. It’s a fitting name for a sophomore album; The Classic Crime could end up heroes, or in a slump. The album itself was recorded as if being played live, meaning no computer enhancements, which in turn highlights the talents of the musicians themselves. All 15 songs on the album are individually unique, and while there is consistency, the songs don’t sound like only a note or two has been changed between them. “Grave Digging,” “Sing,” and “Closer Than We Think” underline the band's versatility and ability to craft screaming anthems and charming ballads in one effort. Ironically, the first song is “The End.” while the final song is “The Beginning;” and thus the quintuplet have set themselves up for a third release with their own silver cord is still very much intact. – Molly Hays
