During a live studio setting, the instruments were captured in one take, well done! The balance between vocals and music is fine. The relationship between the instruments themselves, and the balance on the headphones is good. Nico De Cock sings parts of the lyrics, other parts are narrative. His pronunciation is clear, he uses the right emotion throughout. Nico performs &#8216;I Cry&#8217; very intensely, you feel the emotion in the music too. No wonder, as this ballad is dedicated to their departed drummer Koen Mertens. There are two versions on the CD, both are beautiful. Even the more conservative songs (like &#8216;Moving On&#8217;) are fine. &#8216;Talking To The Lord&#8217; and &#8216;The Road Ahead&#8217; have a bit more pace. But overall, &#8216;Unchained&#8217; is a fairly quiet album, which you should actually enjoy in peace. The fantastic sound quality does everything justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(9\/10) (Donor Company\/Naked)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XdgxcaoJ0s8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=nl-NL&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracklist<br>01 &#8211; Chain Gang<br>02 &#8211; Changes<br>03 &#8211; I Cry<br>04 &#8211; Time To Learn<br>05 &#8211; Moving On<br>06 &#8211; Talking To The Lord<br>07 &#8211; The Road Ahead<br>08 &#8211; The Tale Of Big Tom Brady<br>09 &#8211; I Cry (Symphonic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxazine.nl\/2023\/04\/30\/album-recensie-overzicht-2023-week-17\/?fbclid=IwAR37t_jMj5uSkCsfY7rcUZoy5bf3RLqswVZ6zJVnHBirWhUixd3jJ7OWO6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"59\" data-attachment-id=\"8382\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/rock\/paul-numi-parallel-lives\/attachment\/maxazine_2022\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?fit=217%2C59&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"217,59\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Maxazine_2022\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?fit=217%2C59&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?resize=217%2C59&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8382\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The BluesBones &#8211; Unchained<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Unchained.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"269\" height=\"240\" data-attachment-id=\"9087\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/mini-recensie\/the-bluesbones-unchained\/attachment\/unchained\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Unchained.jpeg?fit=269%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"269,240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Unchained\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Unchained.jpeg?fit=269%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Unchained.jpeg?resize=269%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9087\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Unchained\u2019 is het zevende album van The BluesBones (Belgi\u00eb). Tijdens een live studio-setting werden de instrumenten in \u00e9\u00e9n take werden vastgelegd, chapeau! De balans tussen zang en muziek is prima. Zowel de verhouding tussen de instrumenten onderling, als de verdeling over de koptelefoon is goed. Delen van de tekst zingt Nico De Cock, andere stukken zijn vertellend. Zijn uitspraak is duidelijk, overal gebruikt hij de juiste emotie. Nico brengt \u2019I Cry\u2019 heel intens, daarnaast voel je de emotie in de muziek. Geen wonder, want deze ballad is opgedragen aan hun overleden drummer Koen Mertens. Op de cd staan twee versies, beide zijn prachtig. Ook de behoudende nummers (zoals \u2018Moving On\u2019) zitten prima in elkaar. \u2018Talking To The Lord\u2019 en \u2018The Road Ahead\u2019 hebben wat meer tempo. Maar over het algemeen is \u2018Unchained\u2019 vrij kalm van opzet, heerlijk om in alle rust van te genieten. Door de fantastische geluidskwaliteit komt alles goed tot zijn recht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(9\/10) (Donor Company\/Naked)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Unchained&#8217; is the seventh album by The BluesBones (Belgium).
