![]() As the tension on the verse reaches its peak, Emilie switches her mellow vocals to a desperate shriek in which the chorus is delivered. ”Opheliac”: The album opens with a melancholy harpsichord playing for a minute before giving way to a verse that kind of reminds me of The Return Of Saturn-era No Doubt (a good four years before Gwen Stefani unleashed the musical atrocity that was her first solo album upon mankind). Still, I must say that the good aspects of this album more than compensate for the bad aspects. A couple of fillers and some subpar performances actually keep this album from reaching its full potential.

Industrial rhythms, dance beats, growling vocals, opera chants, confessional lyrics, harpsichords and Emilie’s trademark distorted violin are some of the many surprises that this album has awaiting for the listener.

Yes, after dwelling for many years in the underground goth music scene, this young lady’s first taste of fame was when the ex-Hole frontwoman invited her to perform violins on her debut solo album America’s Sweetheart (which didn’t exactly left a lot of critics swooning, but since I haven’t heard that record, I can’t exactly say if it’s good or bad). Those words were taken directly from Emilie Autumn’s Myspace page.
