In This Moment

Mother

As Above, So Below

---

I was a big fan of the first few albums this band made. I used to listen to them over and over. I haven't delved into the newer stuff so much.

Vocals

I am not a fan of some of the effects used on Maria's voice. WTF? She also is really going sensual with it, which I am not a fan of. She is a great vocalist, but this is a downgrade to me.

Music

Terrible electronic sound to many parts. Makes this feel like dance music being called metal.

Lyrics

I don't completely understand the phrase in the title because I have heard different takes on it. As the title of this song, it obviously has meaning. I have definitely heard the concept of reaping what you sow, or passing it forward. The idea that if you treat people good, down the line maybe they will also pass along something good to another person. Or the idea that doing this thing, effects that thing, positively or negatively. The idea that only working on one part affects others because they are connected. Or even for some the idea that certain things in life are connected to deeper things such as horoscopes, superstition, or gods. I am not sure where these sets of lyrics are going?
