Heavy and heartfelt rock swinging between head and heart. Changes direction every few songs and still feels like one mood.
Soul Meets Body is 100 songs of modern rock that swing between heavy and heartfelt, opening with Death Cab for Cutie’s “Soul Meets Body.” From there it lurches into Post Malone and Ozzy Osbourne’s “Take What You Want,” The Browning’s “Skybreaker” and Bring Me The Horizon’s “Ludens.”
Puscifer, Muse and Marilyn Manson lead the count, with Jimmy Eat World, Volbeat, Clutch and The Interrupters each appearing twice. The Foo Fighters’ acoustic “Everlong,” Metric’s “Help I’m Alive,” The Beautiful South’s “Livin’ Thing” and Volbeat’s “We” show off the softer side. It’s about the tension between the head and the heart: crushing riffs next to vulnerable ballads, electronic textures next to raw guitars. It’s a long listen that works brilliantly on shuffle for a road trip, a workout or a busy workday when you need something that won’t get repetitive. Every few songs it changes direction, and somehow it all still feels like one big mood.
