Control - Pedro the Lion

"Oh look you've earned your wings, are you an Angel now or a Vulture, constant hovering over waiting for a big mistake" - Dave Bazan

Pedro the Lion put out an album a couple of years ago that is a hidden gem of spiritual, musical, and American cultural genius. It is very rare today to find a new album that has a theme where each song make sense sitting next to the other. This is the sort of thing you find on the Beatle's St.Peter's and Radiohead's OK Computer. Control brings the listeners along a story of a man and woman than get married, find Jesus, struggle with life, cheat on one another, go through a mid-life crisis and finally die. The album is real about the modern American mind in a similar way that the file "American Beauty" is, and like American Beauty it is exaggeration to prove a point. The 1st song called "Option" is about falling in love and getting married with lyric's like "I could never divorce you, without a good reason, though I may never have too, its good to have options". When people get married these days they don't intend to get divorced, but it is also a reasonable option the second that there is a fire in the kitchen. No editorial or review could full explain this album, hence I highly recommend listening and discussing this album. It is a modern masterpiece that has not been discovered by the masses.
