I honestly have no idea if i've talked about this in another entry, but I figure i'd bring it up (again). Reinxeed's 1912 album has been something I've been listening to almost non stop. It feels like an addiction now where I can't even go a day without listening to one song off of the album. My last.fm is proof of this:

I think one of the main reasons why I have grasped onto this album for so long is simply because it's a concept album done right. It's based on the history of the Titanic, and lyrically it does a fantastic job. It also paints a picture as to what it would have been like to be present for that time in history. This song is one of the finest examples of that:

"Welcome to all, climb aboard
To the biggest luxury that man has build
Sail far away for a new horizon, everyone's invited
All alone on the ocean they declined
The warnings that they've got
"Iceberg ahead, if you turn it's too late"
But no one cared"

If that opening doesn't get you instantly hooked, I don't know what does. The song is catchy and beautifully structured.

The album as a whole is nothing short of amazing, and definitely worth a listen if you're into a really well done concept album.
