Review

Based on the journals of Henry Hill, a soldier who died tragically in the Iraq War, this concept album narrates a first-hand account of the transformation of a real man from citizen to soldier to killer to martyr. With the release of The Diaries of Private Henry Hill, their 3rd studio album, this talented and intricate collective of musicians express a musical style that is unparalleled. With this dvd release, Blow Up Hollywood takes us on Private Henry Hills surreal journey as he joins the army out of necessity rather than patriotism. Cleverly disguised as a pop song, the album opens with WMD, (Weapons of Mass Destruction). The melody is optimistic but the message is not. The accompanying videos animation serves again to sugar coat its biting commentary on the Iraq war. Henry slowly assimilates to his new military persona in the chilling and warped tracks "Bombs Away" and "Charge", only later to feel deceived, shamed, and despondent by the tragedy of war in "Shock and Awe" and "Puppet." In the finale, Requiem, Henry gives up his puny American life in the futility of war. As listeners move through The Diaries of Private Henry Hill, it vacillates from song to song to bring out the depth of the raw emotion of Henrys journal entries, from minimalist to full blown orchestral ambience. The music is simultaneously progressive and retrospective, blending layered sonic landscapes, developed melodic movements, and deeply emotional sensibilities. It draws from the core creative values of the classic rock greats and yet lives on its own plane, peerless and alone. With this album, Blow Up Hollywood have made the quantum leap from critical pariahs to their current rarified status as Americas most challenging rock band for true music junkies.
