The style of the band at this stage was closer to Gothic Metal and Doom Metal than on later releases, and featured both the vocals of Sharon den Adel.
Then I listened to it. After so many years of making music, only creative inspiration and innovation can motivate you to make a new record. And a very long break, no hasty decisions plus refilling your battery with new experiences. Our hunger to create and innovate awoke again. Our main goal was to collect pieces from sounds we did like and roughen it up as much as we could.
I am sure, I hope, that when these songs transfer to the live environment then they will be quite different, but as they stand at the present, they lack emotion and direction. Within Temptation are a band I see as a bit of a guilty pleasure. So on this album, the band have decided to kind of do something a little different. So expect flourishes of older stuff emerging, including gruntal vocals and newer influences. The best way I can describe this album is that it is rather cheesy.
But a good type of cheese. It belongs to a genre of music that I like to call fist a genre made for putting your fist in the air and shaking it. For the past few years the band seemed to have gained a weird fetish for covering up to date pop songs. Now don't get me wrong, I do like a good metal cover of a pop song now and then, but there is a certain moment whenever hobby becomes obsession. So, surprise surprise there is a bonus disc on the special edition of this album containing a few covers.
Now it is obvious that this new found hobby has influenced their sound. At the moment I'm saying it's a positive thing, but familiarity can breed contempt. Powerful and anthemic, it is a perfect opening to the album with some pretty impressive vocals from Sharon.
Featuring vocals from Howard Jones ex Killswitch Engage , the song is heightened by the combination of powerful male and female vocals. A killer riff throughout and pretty damn catchy too. To all the 'haters' of this song, don't fret, this has been done before. Pretty catchy chorus and some pretty powerful vocals, the song is another powerful pop tune. Luckily this is the only real weak moment on the album. Within Temptation bring this song to brilliant cheesy justice.
In conclusion, I have to say that I surprisingly really enjoyed this album. I do admit that the band's change to a more poppier sound does have their songs sounding rather cheesy, but I am a fan of the cheese now and then. For metal purists, this may be a bit too poppy for your liking, but for people like me who dreamed to have been born in the 80's, this is pretty much greatness for me. Hydra is the sixth full-length studio album by Dutch symphonic metal act Within Temptation. Hydra sees Within Temptation exploring various collaborations, and as well as Tarja they've been joined by former Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones, Dave Pirner of the alternative rock band Soul Asylum, and rapper Xzibit.
Yes, a symphonic metal band collaborated with a rapper. On paper this is a recipe for disaster, regardless on your feelings about rap vocals.
