An authentic reflection of Greg Puciato’s impressive career
Greg Puciato is a very well-known artist for his appearances in various projects. Whether he is working with The Dillinger Escape Plan or with Spylacopa, Puciato’s name is well-known in the music world. Puciato recently released a solo album in Mirrorcell.
Mirrorcell is Puciato’s first solo release since Child Soldier: Creator of God in 2013. Puciato has garnered a high amount of praise in his career for his undeniable talent, brashness and versatility. Mirrorcell is a reflection of that continuing success.
“Reality Spiral” is a song that thrives with its lyrics and instrumentation. The music amplifies the feeling of falling out of the reality that Puciato sings about. Puciato’s themes of this escape from reality in difficult times can be telling of his own experiences and can connect with the listeners’ personal issues.
“Never Wanted That” takes a slower approach with calmer music that seems like it could speed up at any time but chooses not to. Perhaps this reflects the themes of loneliness and depression presented throughout the song. The drums star here as they create a steady beat.
While other songs take a more metal-core approach, “We” is more reminiscent of pop in its instrumentals. “We” brings a similar theme to the album: that being a sense of sadness and not feeling in control. The more pop-inspired music adds a feeling of change while remaining true to what keeps the album special.
Overall Mirrorcell is an excellent album for Puciato. The music is compelling and well-composed, creating an enjoyable listening experience in just nine songs. While the music is exceptional, the themes of loneliness and not feeling in control of life steal the show.
The topic of declining mental health is often discussed in society today. Mirrorcell can capture that as Puciato tells a story that depicts different ways of feeling lonely and not in control of his life. This is complemented by the exceptional music and amplifies the themes presented.
While some may not like such serious themes, Mirrorcell is authentic to Puciato. Greg Puciato has made an impressive name for himself in his career, garnering attention for his music and unapologetic views on life. Mirrorcell reflects Puciato’s talent and personality and is great for anyone willing to listen.
