It's a great song, but it's placement as the closing track makes it significantly better. Very reminiscent of the opening track, 'Master of Tides' in contrast has a victorious and uplifting nature, as if to illustrate a great freedom. The album closes with 'Master of Tides', which is arguably the foil to 'Beyond The Veil'. On top of this, there's also a minuscule country vibe, meaning this would make for some killer square-dancing music. Easy to be mistaken for the work of a symphonic metal artist, this piece is distinctly different from anything on either of her albums, with way more grit and aggression. To summarize 'Roundtable Rival' quite bluntly, it kicks ass. With it's fast pace and mysterious tone, 'Heist' is very original and very enjoyable. Heist wins the award for 'most aptly-titled track'. Some of the other standout songs on this album include 'Heist', 'Roundtable Rival', and the closing track 'Master of Tides'. Even so Frampton's soothing vocals are a good addition to this poppy and inspirational song. The song is certainly good, but unfortunately it's heavily overshadowed by its lyrical predecessor, and it comes across weaker in comparison. I've also heard somewhere the song was inspired by a struggle with anorexia, which seems to make sense when compared to the thin perfectionist doll in the globe.Īnother song with lyrics is entitled 'We Are Giants', with Dia Frampton on lead vocals.

Metaphorically speaking however, it's about breaking free of binding personal routines and struggles in order to gain a sense of independence. When interpreted literally, the song is about one of those 'Tinkerbell-Esque' doll trying to escape her music box/globe. Mixed with Stirling's equally powerful musicianship, the two make for a remarkable collaboration that I would love to see more of in the future. When it comes to conveying the song's theme, Hale hits the bulls-eye, with her powerhouse and hard-hitting vocals.

In fact, the titular track is arguably the best song off the album, thanks to a remarkable duel effort by Lindsey Stirling and Halestorm vocalist, Lzzy Hale. That being said, there are some songs with lyrics and singing this time around, and they're certainly far from bad. This track is a clear cut indicator for some of the themes to expect during the album and Stirling reminds her listeners that she doesn't lyrics and singing to convey a solid meaning. The chorus clearly illustrates the song's underlying theme of desire. Stirling steps into more personal territory with this one, reaching slightly, well, 'Beyond The Veil' of her effervescent and youthful image. Within only the first minute 'Beyond The Veil' I could instantly hear a slight change in direction. So without further adieu, here's my review! So when I heard that she was releasing this new album, I knew that I would have to give it a listen and give my opinions on it. Only recently did I make the decision to listen to her debut, and once I did I was instantly obsessed with her unique style and brilliant musicianship. Up until a few months ago I had only heard of her via the occasional news article or from coming up in a conversation with a friend. Let me begin by saying I am a fairly new fan of Lindsey Stirling. As Jest helps revive her, she's instantly attracted to him, even confessing she had a dream about him and woke up to a lemon tree growing in her room.Review Summary: 'Shatter Me' is successful in further exploring and adapting Lindsey Stirling's 'Dark Tinkerbell' style. And Catherine promptly faints - the corset was that tight. She races through the royal gardens and bumps into the king's new clever and mysterious court jester, Jest. Catherine is mortified when the Cheshire Cat tells her what's going on, and she flees the ballroom. They just corset her up extra-tight beneath a bright red dress to catch everyone's attention. They're so set on the match that they don't even tell Catherine that a black-and-white ball they're attending is her engagement party. But her parents have their hearts set on her marriage with the buffoonish king and don't intend to let her spend her dowry on a store. She just has to work up the courage to ask her parents, the Marquess and Marchioness. In HEARTLESS, Catherine, the best baker in all the Kingdom of Hearts, wants nothing more than to open a bakery with her best friend.
