Need I say more? There’s an air of mystery about Keith. He’s a starry-eyed, wickedly talented man, expressing himself so openly, so truthfully in his music. You may ask, How can one man be so sincere, so honest, and yet so blatantly mysterious to his fans? Well, for one, Keith Caputo is a musical enigma. He sees the world through rose-colored glasses, yet at the same time bleeds his anger through his own brand of poetic license.
Yet, despite the success Keith has found in Life Of Agony, it is his solo material that portrays him the as the socially-conscious, vocalist/musician who graciously inspires crowds with his own brand of music. Take for instance the live cuts on the 2004 release LIVE MONSTERS. Keith's rare ability to spiritually connect with the crowd is evident here, his chatter kept to a minimum, the music and lyrics maximized for the full-effect he aims to expose. Keith’s full appreciation for the surrealistic rock movement that Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin founded rings true here with the first two cuts on LIVE MONSTERS, Charade and Pet K. Gone are the power ballad motivations found on his debut DIED LAUGHING. What we now find are 7-8 minute epics, bordering on the progressive rock arena, loosely constructed yet somehow brilliantly tight in their foundations. Pure magic is the only way one can describe these two songs. But it doesn’t let it up there. The CD itself is a musically journey, taking the listener through a wide range of levels and moodSumand yet, at the same time, provides the ultimate backdrop for any incense-burning, pleasure-activity one may partake in.
