They’re my favorite band because they do what takes 5-6 people to do with only 3 of them and 9/10 times they’re going to sound better than the bigger setup. It shows off their talents as musicians being able to switch from each sound near instantly, and it shows Pete’s vocal range pretty well too (for the time, he’s definitely improved in singing going into Vena Sera, and I think his voice is best in Sci-Fi Crimes). The go from a very light, and melodic sound to more aggressive and heavy sound while singing about a topic that matters to them. Vitamin-R isn’t my favorite song by them, but I think it’s the best fit for what you’re getting into with them. Recorded live at the Metro in Chicago in conjunction with the popular alternative metal outfit’s tenth anniversary, Any Last Words features 14 high-energy tracks, including the hit singles Send the Pain Below, Jars, Vitamin R (Leading Us Along), and Letter from a Thief.' The performances are crisply produced and tightly.
It’s going to give you a bit of everything chevelle can throw out there all packed into one song. Vitamin-R is the quintessential Chevelle song imo. When people ask what I’m listening to and they seem interested, i tell them to listen to “Vitamin-R” if they want to get into the band. I think it’s incredible with how they make their shit sound better, simpler, than stupidly, over-intricate guitar/bass riffs. One thing I’ve noticed with them is their relatively simple guitar and bass tabs. On the one hand they put out soft, moving tracks like Envy and Bend the Bracket, and on the other side they feature skull crushing riffs and screaming in songs like Last Days, then there's everything in between I also appreciate these guys because they're adept in such a variety of styles. And Pete has such a wide vocal range that he can draw listeners in with lighter, alternative-rock-ish singing and unique lyrics, then blow you away with a well placed climax. Chevelle's instrumentation focuses on short, well thought out bursts of sound that are often heavy, yet easy to digest. It was their second number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart 1 and reached number three on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock.
It was released in August 2004 as the lead single from their third studio album, This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In). That kind of music has its time and place, but most people getting into metal aren't looking for that, and Chevelle provides a great alternative. 'Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)' is a song by American rock band Chevelle. When a lot of bands want to sound heavy, they opt for abrasive screaming and growling vocals with thrashing, distorted guitars.
I think these guys stand out because they take a far more melodic approach to songwriting than most other hard rock groups.
