Colosseum - Pop Chronik
Review by Chinemere Okereke
Pop Chronik by Colosseum is a stunning album that showcases the band's versatility and talent. The album features a mix of pop, rock, and jazz influences, creating a unique sound that is both captivating and refreshing.
The album opens with "Jumping Off The Sun," a lively track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight instrumentation and intricate arrangements are immediately apparent, and the song's catchy melody is sure to get stuck in listeners' heads.
Other standout tracks on the album include "The Kettle," a hard-hitting rock number that features some impressive guitar work, and "Elegy," a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's softer side. The album closes with "Lost Angeles," a funky, upbeat track that leaves listeners wanting more.
