Masterpiece Theatre

Masterpiece Theatre
- Shrink-wrapped
It takes some real cojones to include the word 'Masterpiece' in your album title, but Josh Ramsay isn't too worried. 'I suppose I could be digging myself into a hole calling the record 'Masterpiece Theatre,' he chuckles, 'but it's tongue-in-cheek. And I'm not the kind of person that people would assume as being an egomaniac. I hope not, anyway.'
Given his feverish imagination and comprehensive musical gifts, Ramsay could probably get away with a little egomania. And with the release of Masterpiece Theatre, the frontman of Vancouver's Marianas Trench makes an iron-clad case for a prodigious set of talents-both his own and those of his bandmates, guitarist Matt Webb, bassist Mike Ayley, and drummer Ian Casselman.
Marianas Trench had already elevated itself above the rest of the pack with a 2006 debut, Fix Me, that showcased a knack for colouring outside the lines of factory-issue millenial punk, shrewdly-built pop, and super-adrenalized modern rock. Two years later, Marianas Trench has re-emerged with Masterpiece Theatre. And not surprisingly, it's a work of soaring ambition and decisive technical prowess.
