He Is Legend

I Am Hollywood
To the best of my knowledge this cd may have even more clean vocals then Underoath's latest effort. I Am Hollywood brings up a semi-poppy hard rock with a darker atmoshpere or feel to it. To showcase a "hollywood" feel. He Is Legend progresses forward with four "acts" and a "finale." Each "act" starts out with a more edgier song then progresses out of each one to bring some sort of closure in a more emotic song. I Am Hollywood starts with "The Seduction" that invites the listener in with heavier qualities, yet keeps them at bay with an emotic toss up of the coin. After starting, the cd ventures through tests of emotion on tracks two through nine. Musing up different acts of feelings and performances of a journey. A journey that builds up to the title track. I Am Hollywood finishes it up with a more dancy example of a biting, snappy, hardcore esque song.

Throughout the cd Schuylar Croom's vocals can fall out with emotic trips, higher pitched clean, or a deeper growl that is not completely guttural. Marilyn Monroe once said something like this, "Hollywood will buy your kiss for $50,000, yet it will offer you 50 cents for your soul." I Am Hollywood is more then likely He Is Legend's effort to portray "hollywood's true message." [Solid State] Len Nash
