...in the shape of ‘The Chronicles Of Life And Death’. The albums title track is something that would easily feel at home on either of the bands first two releases, delivering the same uplifting happy pop-rock that had made them household names throughout homes worldwide. I found myself doubting that there truly was any surprise to be had, little to know that a couple of tracks down the line I would meet an unhappy moment.

Advantages: diversity, progression of Joel's vocals Disadvantages: slightly more pop orientated
...In the case of ‘The Chronicles Of Life and Death’ there are to be two separate releases, one incorporating life art, whilst the other features death art. Apart from that one minimal difference, the only other point to make is that the final ‘bonus’ track on each version is different, therefore leaving you with a choice.

How wrong I was. Chronicles really isn't more of the same. I won't go through it track by track, so I'll group the songs into the 3 categories which have arisen from ...

Advantages: lyrics from songs are all easy to relate to Disadvantages: I just wanna live, not a great song
...it's very dramatic.
Next is the chronicles of like and death. Starting off "You come in cold, you're covered in blood, they're all so happy you've arrived" Sounds slightly depressing but it's not, it's really upbeat and you can't help but dance little in your seat as you listen.
Walk away is next on the tracklist, this is one of my favourites on the album, a song about regrets and fears, the lyrics in the chorus,"Well maybe I'm just scared, To face ...
