I'm sure readers have by now noticed my tendancy to find the darker and angrier songs. Not that they depress me—they don't, which may be part of the reason I'm so able to like them. Well, oops, I've done it again…
"No one ever tells you that forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head…" Okay, so it gets repetitive, but the full chorus is at least thought-provoking, as are the verses that angrily critique the prevalence of façades, particularly in the music industry. Too often the appearance of artists is what matters in songs, rather than artist skill or song content.
Sadly, this song does blaspheme more than once in before saying "it feels like forever." It's not an angry declaration of God's name, at least, but it is a careless one. The CD Come What(ever) May also has both a censored and an explicit version. I almost like the singer's voice, but it sounds… off in some points.
The music is mostly acoustic guitar that intermittently adds more rock elements like drums and electric guitar. That melding sound decently done, but shifts are a bit abrupt, though that admittedly suits its angry tone. Stone Sour is generally considered an alternative rock or metal band, but the sound is more of a mix.
The video for "Through Glass" attacks the cardboard cutout entertainment industry that distracts viewers from reality.
Music: 3/5
Vocal(s): 3/5
Overall: *5/10
*The song blasphemes.
