FLYLEAF
MEMENTO MORI REVIEW




I couldn't help but not like the album very much. Sometimes, new sound is good, but in this case, NOT FOR ME! I fell in love with their first cd. I loved her voice, and I loved the music. Rock music with a woman lead singer that isn't gothic is awesome! I got so excited for the cd to come out; it has been 4 years since the release of their first album. This album has disappointed me so much, and here are my reasons.

Her voice was overedited! BIG TIME! Plus, it seems like the people editing the music only focused on her voice, not the music part. And to make it even worse, the music part is edited too much too, and doesn't have the same sound as the first album. This is probably my main and only complaint. Her voice isn't as "sweet" in this album. I gave the rating 2/5 stars because some of the songs do have potential. If this album had the same sound as the first, I would be in love with it. But of course, something has to go wrong.

Ok, this is just my opinion of the album. I know other fans are in love with it, but not me. One song I might actually like is "Break Your Knees", which is on the deluxe edition. (I'm going to listen to it after this)

So......complaints.



1) Her voice is overworked, doesn't have the same "sweet" sound

2) Her voice drowns out the music

3) The songs need some time in them where she's not singing

4) The album doesn't have the same sound

5) Some songs have the same things ("bleed", "cut off") not a biggy though

6) The cover!!! CREEPPYY


So to Flyleaf, please go back to old times....for your next album. Pretty please! And please don't let that be for another 4 years...


I'm too demanding.
