Our Frankenstein - Magnum Spire Hotel (Album Review)

Our friends Our Frankenstein dropped their "Magnum Spire Hotel" album a few weeks ago, and we just got a chance to sit down and listen to it. Concept albums are usually hit or miss with me, but this one is truly a wild ride! The further you go into the hotel, the darker and more intense it gets, and I just love it! Each track is a bit different from the others, but they masterfully come together as a cohesive unit. I was a bit surprised by the brief music box interlude, but that kind of little instrumental track in an otherwise heavier album is an element I really miss. It used to be a lot more common before all anyone cared about was singles. I think my favorite track is the last one, "Grace". While all of them are great, that one just really hit me. That guitar, the ominous whispery vocals, the suspense and eeriness. It's truly a masterpiece. I enjoyed this album so frickin much! So go! Run to your favorite music streaming service, or order a copy off their Bandcamp and give this a listen. If you dare enter the Magnum Spire Hotel!
