    it's so strange that this song is based upon such a legendary piece of literature, the title 'heavy hangs the albatross' refers to the moral message in samuel taylor coleridge's 'rime of the ancient mariner', the albatross is strung over the mariner's neck, riddling him with guilt, just like the artist's guilt that riddles him for killing annabel. Notice as well that annabel and albatross both begin with an A, I just think it's amazing that one album can have so many heavy references to literature in it, edgar allan poe and samuel taylor coleridge, wow

    No one is ever interested about literature anymore. One of the biggest reasons why I love Alesana is because of their heavy influences on literature. Listening to them inspires me to read the books their last few albums were influenced by. I'm so excited for the new album because it's based off of A Wrinkle in Time. They are so smart to come at this approach in music.

    And guess what that's based off of. Annabel Lee by Edger Allan Poe. All of their albums are based off of different things. The first is based off of Greek Mythology, the second is based after Grimm Brother's tales, the third (this) is based after Annabel Lee and the fourth is based after Dante's Inferno.

    Actually, it is. Hence the.name of the song, Annabel. And the last song of the album, In her tomb by the sounding sea, which is the last line in Annabel Lee. It also says so in their CD. Get informed.

    First time hearing Alesana after hearing every scene kid in my school talk about them.. And I'm a little unimpressed. I think I would enjoy this a bit more if the screaming didn't sound like it does. However, the lyrics are great, which is rare nowadays.

    Its a bit vice-versa ma'am. They are influenced by literature. But I agree. That is why I love them as well! And I've never needed help to find a reason to pick up a good book. And is it really? Oh man that will be a wondrous album. And it is so much better then what other bands are doing, look at Falling in Reverse if you need proof. Ha, that band is a joke now. Nice to see someone that can head-bang with a brain. You're a odd cookie. Ma'am.

      This whole album is based on Edgar Allen Poe's poem Annabelle lee. Think of the songs as chapters. The first song basically tells you what is going on and then every other song shows you the journey into chaos.
