Smile
A smile is a facial expression formed primarily by flexing the muscles at the sides of the mouth. Some smiles include a contraction of the muscles at the corner of the eyes, an action known as a Duchenne smile. Among humans, a smile expresses delight, sociability, happiness, joy, or amusement. It is distinct from a similar but usually involuntary expression of anxiety known as a grimace. Although cross-cultural studies have shown that smiling is a means of communication throughout the world, there are large differences among different cultures, religions, and societies, with some using smiles to convey confusion or embarrassment. Evolutionary background Primatologist Signe Preuschoft traces the smile back over 30 million years of evolution to a "fear grin" stemming from monkeys and apes, who often used barely clenched teeth to portray to predators that they were harmless or to signal submission to more dominant group members. The smile may have evolved differently among spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Grin (Coroner Album)
''Grin'' is the fifth studio album by the Swiss thrash metal band Coroner, released in 1993. It was the band's final album before their fourteen-year break up from 1996 to 2010, and to date, other than several new tracks on the 1995 compilation album ''Coroner'', ''Grin'' remains the most recent studio album by the band. It is also the last Coroner album to feature drummer Marky Edelmann, who left the band in 2014. Musical style ''Grin'' is considered a major departure from Coroner's previous works, moving to much greater experimentation. It is more focused on the aspects of progressive and technical metal, as opposed to the traditional thrash metal template of its predecessors. The album also incorporates elements of alternative metal, groove metal and industrial metal, and retains some of the avant-garde influences from the band's previous albums '' No More Color'' (1989) and ''Mental Vortex'' (1991).http://www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/c_2/coroner-gr ...

Originally scheduled for release in April 2012, the album's release was delayed for a full year and had been in the making since early 2010 when Charli met with producer Ariel Rechtshaid in Los Angeles. To promote the album's release, Charli embarked on a three-date UK promotional tour in April 2013. Background and release " You're the One" has been compared to Siouxsie and the Banshees' 1991 song " Kiss Them for Me" and Charli agreed: "At the time, I was listening to a lot of dark pop, so I was inspired by a lot of the deep bass sounds. Sure, Siouxsie is there, too. We just kind of rolled with it." Charli explained the meaning behind the album's title saying, "Every corner of my own romantic history is explored on this record, so for me, it's very raw, it's very honest, and it's very true." The majority of the album's tracks were previously ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
