Comments on: Sophia - My Morning; Migration http://www.indievisionmusic.com/wordpress/2008/03/27/sophia-my-morning-migration/ Faith and Entertainment with an Independent Perspective Sat, 11 Oct 2008 13:43:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: john http://www.indievisionmusic.com/wordpress/2008/03/27/sophia-my-morning-migration/#comment-126615 john Sun, 24 Aug 2008 04:41:25 +0000 http://www.indievisionmusic.com/wordpress/2008/03/27/sophia-my-morning-migration/#comment-126615 This review, had i not already bought this album on itunes several months ago, would've been the final thing that motivated me to buy this cd because it truly speaks to the things are great about Sophia. Rarely do bands these days write albums, with full-fledged concepts behind them, they generally tend to write a bunch of songs, play said songs, attempt to get signed, then slap them together in a some order seeming to have been determined by hitting shuffle on an itunes playlist. But sophia is amazing because not only does the music flow from song to song, but the lyrics, titles, the dialogue beneath the surface, the concepts all go in this pattern of stream of consciousness almost that just make everything in it that much more perfect. From the theme of birds to the poem from which the titles are taken, down to the album art, this cd is beautiful to your eyes, heart, soul, mind, and most importantly your ears This review, had i not already bought this album on itunes several months ago, would’ve been the final thing that motivated me to buy this cd because it truly speaks to the things are great about Sophia.

Sophia are almost the only reason I listen to hardcore/metal anymore. There are too many bands who want to sound like their heroes, and not enough bands concerned with music. Sophia has yet to dissappoint. Regardless of whether or not they decide to go beyond the independent scene, I know that as long as they're together, I'll always have a band that will make me love music. Get this now!

I love writing lyrics, but I think I'll stick to angst-ridden pop-punk and sometimes spiritually uplifting radio rock Xanga entries. Besides, when I grab the new In Shepherds Arms disc, I'm positive that I'll be blown away by your poetic wit and creative genius. lollerskates, Advent-man.
