Jeff Scott Soto 04/11/1965

[ponderingrandomthings]

This is song #2 from the second and final album by the progressive metal supergroup Sons of Apollo.

It released two albums:

Psychotic Symphony (2017)

MMXX (2020)

The band was formed in 2017 with:

Mike Portnoy - drums

Billy Sheehan - bass

Derek Sherinian - keyboards

Jeff Scott Soto - vocals

Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal - guitars

Mmm… Wait! Bumblefoot? (Ha ha. Err…) Was he clumsy? No. He was helping his wife study for her veterinary exams and in the process he learned about this bacterial infection. "The name went from being just the name of an album, to the name of a record label, to a band name, to eventually his name as a solo artist."

My point of interest for this song Wither to Black is that it was based on a riff written by Mr Bumblefoot - initially called Rushgarden - because it sounded like a mixture of Rush and Soundgarden.

[Yes, it does. Plus the vocals reference a 'modern day' in a line! Good to see Rush-inspired great music.]

Art Of Anarchy - Let There Be Anarchy

Serious question, does anyone remember the hard-rock band Art Of Anarchy? This band’s name was really familiar to me when I saw their new album, Let There Be Anarchy, and after some research, turns out these guys have been around since the mid 2010s, and they’re a supergroup composed of former members of Guns ‘N Roses, Creed, Sons Of Apollo, and Stone Temple Pilots, but not at the same time. The band’s had a rotating and inconsistent lineup of vocalists, first having the late Scott Weiland on their debut, and then Scott Stapp on their second album, but finally landing on Sons Of Apollo singer Jeff Scott Soto (guitarist Ron “Bumblefoof” Thal was in that band with Soto as well). I’ve listened to their 2017 sophomore album with Stapp, entitled The Madness, since listening to their newest album, and it’s a good album. It’s been seven years since that record, but it looks like Soto has been part of the band since 2020. I can wonder what took them so long to drop a new album, but COVID-19 might have a lot to do with that.

Terrible and amateurish artwork aside, I was curious to listen to this, especially when I’ve been looking for some solid hard-rock / heavy metal. The length made me a bit scared, as this album clocks in at 52 minutes, but for all I knew, the length could be justified. After listening to this album a handful of times, I would say that it is, although it’s not quite a perfect album. I like this album, but I don’t quite love it, as it does have a few problems that prevent me from really loving it. It’s still worth hearing if you want a good hard-rock album, but it won’t quite blow your mind or change the way you think about the genre. There’s still a lot on here to appreciate (even though the artwork is really bad).

The band kind of changed their sound for this album a little bit, and the reason why this album’s length is justified is because it seems like adding Soto brought a progressive-metal influence to their sound (as Sons Of Apollo is a prog-metal supergroup). The first song on this album is almost 8 minutes long, but it’s this prog-rock / hard-rock track that never feels pretentious or self-indulgent, and it has some cool riffs and solos that keep the song engaging. What’s interesting is that this album switches between two modes — longer prog-influenced songs and shorter and more straight-forward hard-rock cuts. The album doesn’t feel disjointed because of it, because the riffs and solos sound pretty similar, but one of the big problems I have with this album is that some of the hooks just aren’t memorable. Soto is a good vocalist, but the hooks don’t really hit the way they should, at least on certain tracks, but that is because they lean into their progressive side a lot.

If you want a hard-rock album with some prog leaning sounds, and that sort of lean too far into it but without becoming pretentious, you’ll enjoy this. They take themselves out of it from time to time, and a handful of tracks are more are straightforward hard-rock cuts, such as “Vilified.” This song is a perplexing one, because the song itself is more or less a straightforward hard-rock cut, but this song brings up the other main problem I have with this album — its lyrics are very questionable at times. “Vilified” is a track that’s about people who are misunderstood in some way being vilified by society, and one can assume that would mean people of color, LBGTQ+ folks, disabled people, or many other kinds of people that the “mainstream” doesn’t really quite understand. Well, I suppose you can take that from track, but the song has fakes clips of a news reporter (weirdly done by former Queensryche vocalist Geoff Tate)talking about the Joker movie from 2019, and how it’s inspiring people to commit heinous acts. The song, according to actor Cuba Gooding Jr (who appears in the music video) is “not a song, but a statement, a message, and a warning. It is a reflection of the many issues that are being brought to the forefront within our society. Mental illness, mass shootings, institutions, people being demonized without proper information or due process.”

This makes me uncomfortable for a couple of reasons, mainly that the Joker is such a dated and cringy reference (especially with a “we live in a society” type of narration that appears in the song and it’s so funny because of how bad it is), but Gooding Jr has a history of sexual harassment. Him saying that last part makes me think he’s whining about being charged for that, and thinks that he didn’t do anything wrong, even if he doesn’t come out and say it. I can understand the mental illness part, but mass shooters should be vilified, so I don’t know what they’re trying to say there. This song reminds me a lot of “Bad Man” by Disturbed, because there’s a very purposely vague message in these songs that either side of the political spectrum can utilize for their own. I look at “Vilified,” and think of the song as being about minorities and people who are oppressed being vilified by the powers that be, but I can see conservatives look at this song and thinking that they’re being “vilified” for being bigoted. It just doesn’t sit well with me, even though I can ignore the implications of the vagueness of the lyrics.

Most of the lyrics are fine, but they do kind of follow the same formula of not saying anything interesting or pointed, so they’re not about anything at all. The lyrics fall to the wayside for me, and it’s kind of a shame, because Soto is a good vocalist, but the hooks and lyrics don’t stick. It’s really the riffs and solos that work quite well, so if you want a hard-rock / metal album with some cool instrumentation, you’ll dig this. The lyrics kind of stink, but they’re not as offensive as they are purposely vague, and like I said in my review of that forgettable Disturbed album from 2022 (that I remember being okay, I haven’t gone back to it since, and its lyrics were bad), the lyrics being vague is almost worse because they can say they’re not being “political” or express favor to one side in particular, but the main difference with this is that the music is actually pretty cool. I wish the lyrics and hooks were better, but it’s okay. I’ve heard a lot worse, and it’s worth a listen, least, but you’re not quite missing anything if you don’t listen to it.
