Acoustic Albums Make a Big Splash at iTunes Store


Rock superstars such as Theory of a Deadman, Bullet For My Valentine, and Papa Roach, just to name a few, have recently dropped acoustic recordings of some of their favorite songs in the iTunes Store. These albums are Exclusive to the iTunes Store, and provide their fans with their favorite songs in a different tone and vocal atmosphere. The difference in acoustic compared to the normal songs can range anywhere from subtle differences to complete flip flop of the songs. One of the best examples I can think of is Bullet For My Valentine's acoustic version of "Tears Don't Fall." The regular version of the song provides a hardcore and fast-paced song that will get your heart pumping and your head banging. However, the acoustic version, provides for a more softer and sad tone that seems to give the song a deeper sense of meaning than its hardcore original. Instead of heart pumping and head banging, it will get your vocals vibrating and really shows the talent and range that these rock stars have. Either way, I can't decide if I like the acoustic versions of these songs better or not, but it definately brings a new and interesting feeling on an already awesome song.
