Where Do We Go from Here [Enhanced, Import]

...but then came June 15th, and the release of Where Do We Go From Here. After hearing the first song (Hypnotized), you know the new CD is gonna rock... and not rap-rock. It is clear Pillar have taken a much more melodic approach, and are clearly talented for it. Following the opening track comes Chris Lord-Alge's remixed, #1 single, "Bring Me Down", which is clearly better than the first mix that came out on the the Broken Down EP. Follows the punkish song "Holding On", which comes to show Pillar's ability to write songs in very diverse styles. Tracks 4 and 5 begin with slow verses which quickly turn to a heavy and rock solid chorus. Rewind, the midway track on the CD, is "the slow song of the record". It showcases Pillar's ability to write beautiful lyrics along with a great melody. Frontline follows and comes back with the rhythmic verses Pillar are known for (and maybe the slight rap in it as well?). I'd be willing to bet that Frontline is the next single off the record......... Follows this great song is Underneath It All, another great heavy tune with amazing guitar loops and great drumming. Dirty Little Secret, which adresses the issue of pornography in mankind, contains a fast guitar solo near the end of the song, which brings an element of diversity to the record. Staring Back, One Thing and Aftershock are the three last tracks of the record, but are clearly not the least. Heavy guitars, amazing drums and bass, and great singing come to close the record, after 45 minutes of pure rock.

All in all, this record is one that you definetely want to have in your collection... It isnt surprising that, although on a very small record label, this CD has sold close to 19,000 records in its first week of release, which brings them to the low sixties on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. Amazing for a little indie rock band..... but I doubt it will remain "little" and "indie" from here.... Where does Pillar go from here? You'll see in the very near future!
