Album Description
Available in:
"Double Vision" is the sixth full length studio album by the English progressive rock band Arena, it was released 25th May 2018 on the Verglas Music label.
User Album Review
The new album’s title name checks the song Double Vision from The Visitor; this is no coincidence as the album’s epic-length closer, The Legend of Elijah Shade, is a follow-up, of sorts. By contrast, the first half of the album is made up of shorter tracks. Overall, it is structurally very similar to Immortal? and Pepper’s Ghost and so comparisons between them are inevitable. Such comparisons are, I think, warranted, as the album’s style shares much in common with Arena’s earlier works, Immortal? in particular.
The album begins with Zhivago Wolf. A rumbling drum and guitar intro are soon accompanied by Clive Nolan’s keyboards and a lyric about paranoia. There are shades of The Butterfly Man to this and the chorus is instantly memorable. An excellent opener and one of the album’s best tracks.
Overall, the album’s heavier tone is balanced with some infectious melodies. This is classic and unmistakable Arena; indeed, it feels like a return to the style and sound that made the band what it was almost twenty years ago. I must admit that on first listen the album didn’t impress me greatly, with Scars, Red Eyes and The Legend of Elijah Shade all needing repeated listens to fully appreciate everything that is going on. This is a very welcome addition to Arena’s impressive catalogue and I hope that the next tour sees more of it feature in the set.
