At one point, I figured this would be my favorite Tiamat release, and for a while it was. But after listening to it for nearly a year now, I think it's safe to say it no longer holds that position.Musicians:
Make no mistake; this is truly a fine album, well-crafted in nearly every regard. As the follow-up to 1997's 'A Deeper Kind of Slumber', 'Skeleton Skeletron' shows the next evolution of Tiamat. This time around, there's less experimentation than the previous outing and the music seems to have gotten grittier (accented by the heavier guitars). No matter the progression, this is undeniably a Tiamat album. The dark, somber moods woven into the songs are just as powerful as previous albums and, although "dirtier"-sounding, the album still retains the psychedelic/dream/acid trip/ambience/whatever vibe first presented on the band's turning point album, 'Wildhoney'. The way the band combines the heavy and the soft is unique and captivating, and isn't replicated on any of their other albums in quite the same way. You may be grinding along with an industrial guitar riff one minute, then find yourself floating along to a serene keyboard segment the next. Unfortunately, many songs on this album established the generic 'verse, chorus, verse, chorus, repeat chorus' song structure that Tiamat would adopt almost completely for Judas Christ. Fortunately, on this release, the band mixes it up a little with songs like 'To Have and Have Not' and 'Lucy', which both break off into cohesive and focused intrumental sessions. Not to say that the album is boring. Thankfully, unlike its successor, 'Skeleton Skeletron' has enough to offer to keep even the generic song structure entertaining. Overall, a great album, and a must-have for the Tiamat fan. The album's biggest flaw, it seems, is that it doesn't have the immortality of 'A Deeper Kind of Slumber', and as a result of that I find myself reaching for 'A Deeper Kind…' rather than this when I want to hear some Tiamat.
