One Perfect Minute - Opaque CD Review
Album released January 1, 2004. |
One Perfect Minute (or OPM as their fans call them) come from the outskirts
of Naples/Marco Island, FL area with influential bands such as Incubus,
Silverchair, and Finger 11 contributing to their incredible sound.
Honestly, this album can be summed up in one word - amazing. This
definitely isn't one of those CD's you find yourself skipping through
in order to come across a good song. It's more like a listening experience
that captivates the mind and soul.
One Perfect Minute |
Vocalist Nick Duarte has an incredible voice that's impossible
to get tired of - not to mention his writing ability in
addition to the rest of the bands', which is outstanding.
It's truly a challenge to pick one favorite track on Opaque.
Most songs contain that addicting chorus you find running
though your mind all day. A good example is their fourteenth
track, "Slipped Through My Finger" - "I
pretend that I don't care, when it's killing me, let you
slip though my fingers..."
Musically, no words can describe their creativity let
alone talent. Mike Vranek on guitar is absolutely mind-blowing,
while Ed Ziehm on drums is simply amazing, not to mention
the bass played by former member Bryce Healy.
Coming across a band (such as One Perfect Minute) with such a mixture
of originality, passion, and talent is like finding an endangered
species - rarely come across yet oh-so valuable.
"Opaque" is by far one of the most outstanding albums coming from
an unsigned band. I would highly recommend it to any music lover.
