Riding a black unicorn...- CD review

So last month I pre ordered the new CD from Voltaire. And if you don't know who he is he is my favorite goth music icon. He has made some of my favorite songs, short stories and other stuff. if I were to recommend any song I say listen to feathery wings. you can currently find him touring the country and if you do see him tell him hi.



got it a few days ago. And I love this, all song are good but some are better than others. my personal faves are riding a black unicorn down the side of an erupting volcano while drinking from A chalice filled with the laughter of small children, mechanical girl, and dirtiest song that ain't.

As a person who does college radio I appreciate that the songs don't have curse words. but that doesnt have any barring on how good this cd is.its just a little extra thing which i think shows that voltaire doesn't to use swearing as a crutch.

It just seems that a lot of time and effort was put into this. The music has the gothy , dark themes injected with humor and the Voltaire style that is unique to him. And he even changes things up with here. i noticed that this cd has more jazz undertones which is not unapreciated.

It's really hard to describe it but it really is an amazing cd that I would recommend to anyone from a long time fan to new listeners.

5 out of 5
