Review Summary: Ughh
What we have right here is an album that wears out its welcome all too soon, and yet drags on to almost an hour and a half in length. Forgive me in being so blunt right off the bat but it's the one glaring thing this album has going against it, and it absolutely kills it. When Orakel starts off, things sound wonderful, there are joyous strings, happy melodies, and a general sense of fun. It sounds like the start of a wonderful adventure you are about to go on. Hell, the next two songs are just as fun. The drop in Origin is stellar simply because of how much fun it is. The album starts out on such a high not. The drops sound----
not like your average cut and paste bass drops there is
some effort in trying to sound creative, the first three songs are so good that if they were alone on an EP things would be very different.
But then there is another hour and twenty minutes of mind numbing nothingness you sit through.
The songs at this point become so predictable, mind numbing, annoying, and generally over indulgent that it really isn't even worth checking out. You know when the drop is coming, what it will sound like, and surprise! It's loud and deviod of anything. Maybe I am being harsh, but as i said, Orakel is very long and the number one rule of writing a long song or album is making sure enough of your content is fresh enough to keep your audience entertained to listen to all of it. This does not keep me entertained. To sum it up, you'll listen to a couple of songs, and by the time you're just a little of the way through it just becomes background noise. It's a shame because there are moments that are pretty, and the whole thing isn't
bad. If only it was shorter. Like 18 songs shorter. It has everything an electronic dubstep whatever album should have, including the guy talking about something profound and deep! (He is talking about moss or mold or something dumb.) Parts go hard! Parts go Soft! There's nothing left to say.
