My impressions of the new Chevelle album. The North Corridor
| Chevelle - The North Corridor l Impressions |
Chevelle’s eighth studio album is a heavy hitting album featuring an array of tracks that will surely welcome new and returning fans to something fresh and different. This time around Chevelle said they wanted to create the heaviest album thus far. Referring back to their earlier days of Wonder What’s Next. Fans have wanted Chevelle to return to their roots for some time now and The North Corridor may just be what the fans have been waiting for.
I always love the opening track on a Chevelle album. They are easily some of my favorites. “Family System”, “The Clincher”, and “Ouija Board” to name a few. “Door to Door Cannibals” is no exception. The opening track lets you know what you are in for in the first five seconds of hearing Pete hit his guitar. It’s heavy. It’s loud. It’s riffy. It’s even unfamiliar. Listening to Pete’s guitar chug almost doesn’t sound like Chevelle at first. It’s a refreshing metal sound that spews from Pete’s PRS rather than his usual palm muting style. It’s not until the vocals hit that you remember it’s Chevelle playing in your ears. The first track bleeds into the second with “Web Enemies” a more familiar sound. This one may remind you of Chevelle’s 2007 album Vena Sera’s “Brainiac”. It’s fast paced with quick verses and choruses that strings you right into the next song.
One of my favorite songs off the album is “Punchline”, which might be surprising because it’s the slowest song on the album. In case you forgot this is a heavy in your face kind of album. But I love the ominous vibe here, it has a sort of Nine Inch Nails feel to it. Pete’s vocals are reminiscent of Vena Sera and Sci-Fi Crimes where vocals take the main stage vs. heavy guitar and drum parts. It’s a break from the heaviness and a breath of air. You get to come up for a moment and rest. I enjoy this because other areas of this album seem to never want to slow down. This in not entirely bad. I understand that fans want a that heavy-sounding experience like Wonder What’s Next, but you need to have balance. This is what made Wonder What’s Next so strong and where The North Corridor falls a bit weak.
Many will compare Chevelle’s sound to that of Tool. With similar guitar sounds and pushing vocals. This time around the songs are more focused on heavy guitar parts. More power chords and heavier chugging drive these songs rather than catchy riffs that usually progress Chevelle’s music forward. Somewhat Deftones sounding. You can really hear this in “Rivers”, and “Warhol’s Showbiz”.
Since recording with Joe Barresi on Hats off to the Bull, La Gárgola, and finally The North Corridor. These last three Chevelle albums have had similar running themes. This is likely due to working with the same producer. This album though in my opinion is the best of the three. Progression got better on each album. I want to call it Chevelle’s Star Wars trilogy. Similar to Star Wars, the album Hats off to the Bull is where Chevelle begins its journey; learning to become a Jedi. By the Third act Chevelle has mastered their craft and now understands the ways of The Force.
Overall, the album leaves a great first impression. It keeps you wanting more. It’s complex and layered, but it’s not without its downfalls. When Chevelle says they want to put out a heavy hitting album; well, that’s just what they do. The issue here is what the album gains in heaviness it lacks in catchiness throughout most choruses and verses. Meaningful lyrics can easily be forgotten or lost. It all gets a little buried in the mix. Just don’t expect this album to be something to sing along to. It’s an album that’s going to get you off your feet though. Something you’ll feel like driving fast too. An album you’ll want at full volume all the time. It’s a great album and as a long running Chevelle fan I approve.
Favorite Tracks: “Door to Door Cannibals” “Punchline” “Shot from a canon”
Least Favorite Tracks: “Warhols Showbiz”

The new Chevelle album is here. These are my thoughts.
Another day another Lootcrate! Spoilers it's awesome. You can find the video on my page. Yes you have to go to my page. What a pain. I get it. It's hard to click things. I wouldn't ask you to subscribe to the channel either that would be even more work. I mean ugh more clicking things with my fingers. Ugh. ❤️ #Lootcrate #Unboxing #Dystopia
Oscar worthy
this is so pure
Jackie and Shayne try Korean food for the first time!
For no reason at all. Cat sipping tea to Pink Floyds Hey you. WITH LYRICS. #Majestic
I always see Buzzfeed post these type of videos. Here's my attempt at recreating the video they posted today or something. Because why not. I thought it would be fun. Also not bad for something I threw together pretty quick.
That's fine. Doors are overrated anyway. Don't worry about me I'll just crawl through the trunk so I can drive to work today. That's fine. 🖕🏻
Here we go guys I got another one. Yeah I know. I can’t believe it either. It’s a two part-er too. A bit longer than our previous videos. We’re going to try in the future to at least publish 5-7 minutes of content on each upload.
So here’s our first video of two for this week. Look for our next video on Saturday. It’s a nice little cooking segment so stay tuned!
In the meantime watch our Vlogy Vlog, “We Get Lost”. It’s fun, weird, and classy as always.
I'm listen to one new artist/album a month. Last month my pick was this album by King Crimson. I want suggestions for another new artist. Any genre. It can be older than old or newer than new. If I pick your album I'll buy it, pop it in my car for the month, play it, rate it, review it, and let you know what I think of it. K thanks bye!
That's us. The lady and I. We're doing the YouTube thing and we're discovering that were pretty damn good at it *laughs* under the tentative channel name "Jackie and Shayne" This is our first video of many. We're filming a bunch and looking to have at least two up a week. You'll find Vlogs, Reviews, Let's Plays, Cooking shows, Unboxings and more! We're excited and I promise not to spam the crap out our channel either. Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen The Force Awakens...
Calm down McDonalds. It ain't even Valentines Day yet. #AllDay #Drizzle
