Mercury Rev - The Dark Is Rising

It starts with a really arranged intro...almost as bombastic as "Epitaph" by King Crimson. It also has a bit of Flaming Lips-esque style...especially their later music. After the arranged intro, with the string section....a quite piano sequence comes...the vocals start. Very high pitch, clean vocals...after awhile a cellow plays during the verse....and then the arranged part comes back in. The song is mixture of quiet piano based music and bombastic arranged progressive rock. I like the music alot...but the vocals are something I dislike. 8/10

My picks:


Damien Rice - The Professor
Young Gods - Rue De Tempetes
