Trans-Siberian Orchestra Letters From The Labyrinth

2015, LETTERS FROM THE LABYRINTH is Trans-Siberian Orchestra's first album of individual, unconnected songs. The 14-track set is knit together by the serious underpinning of the songs, whether it's the sweeping overview of humanity on ,,Time And Distance", the concerns of world banking irregularities on ,,Not Dead Yet", the anti-bullying message of ,,Not The Same" (which O'Neill co-wrote with his daughter) or the learn-from-the-past studies of ,,Prince Igor" and ,,King Rurik". In some ways it's a straight ahead album, and in some ways it's not. It's blatantly out of the box more music-driven as opposed to story- and music-driven. The world is a mess right now, so LETTERS FROM THE LABYRINTH examines some of the problems we're facing now. You can enjoy them as songs, but they're there to make you think.
