Nero: Welcome Reality






In the year 2808...darkness looms over Earth as worlds collide...two humans make a discovery that will ignite the war between the oppressed and the superior, and change the world forever......

I gotta say, that this is the first album that I actually downloaded each track, and loved it so much that I supported Nero and BOUGHT it.

Apparently this is a concept album. A concept album is meant to tell a story, or set in some sort of theme. Nero's Welcome Reality album is supposed to be based off of their love for apocalyptic films or something like that. Either way, this album is meant to make the listener feel as if they are watching a movie in their heads.

Well,  mission accomplished. This is the first album that I've ever been able to close my eyes and listen to every track in order and come up with a story. To me, this story would be based in a dystopic society in the future, kind of like Akira, or any of those anime films that came out in the 80's.  This album doesn't just have one sound, it has dubstep, it has house, drum n bass, electronic, ambient..etc.

Every song seems to have some sort of message, like Choices, which explains how humans are destroying the world that they live in by the result of the choices they make, and some songs sound like something that should be played in a futuristic space ship chase scene, like Me & You, or Must Be The Feeling.

Recommended for: anime lovers, sci-fi geeks who watch movies with explosions and robots and anything directed by Michael Bays or M. Knight Shamaylan.
