Flyleaf’s Memento Mori

Flyleaf’s highly anticipated second album “Memento Mori” has rang a lot of controversy among fans and critics. While some argue it is a religious album, Flyleaf members have stated time and time again that they do not consider themselves a religious group though sometimes their beliefs are woven into their lyrics. Controversy aside, Memento Mori has taken Flyleaf to new heights as a rock group showcasing their ability to use both captivating lyrics and head – bang worthy guitar riffs. Memento Mori (Latin for “be mindful of death” or “remember you will die”) plays out almost like a story through the course of the album. Starting with the fan loved single “Again” and finishing with an array of acoustic bonus tracks, the album takes listeners on a ride through the troubles of love and life and contemplating life and death. Over all I must say that I enjoyed Flyleaf’s debut album a bit more, but Memento Mori still scores a 4 out of 5 in my book.
