Leitmotif rapes all over this as an album tbh. This does have their best songs though.

Seen them three times and their setlist is always disappointing. Their performances are never disappointing, though.

I don't know what to say. I'm too conflicted by looking at your post. Your avatar tells me you're the coolest fucking person of all time. Your username tells me fuck you. Your rating of this album tells me you're just ok.

I like "The Canyon Behind Her" but everything else just sounds kind of bland and apathetic, especially the vocals.

Doesn't matter how many times you do that, it still is completely irrelevant.



I don't expect you to understand this concept though.

Eh, I must be doing something right if that's all they have.



Anyways, I don't get people saying he has an non-emotive voice; I think it's the opposite.

I think Mike Allen's SoundOff on this album sums up my feelings best:



Maybe I’m missing the point with “El Cielo,” but dredg’s critically glorified release is presented with enough flaws to prevent it from reaching anything close to “classic” status. Massive sound, sweeping harmonies, and unique musical structuring is what illustrates the brilliance in dredg, but the band appears to be incapable of producing an album of that magnitude. The criticism is placed in the hands of front-man Gavin Hayes, who comes off as an ordinary songwriter and talented, but detached vocalist. Dredg’s second full-length release certainly contains enough virtuoso material to be considered a great album, but is lacking in several of the aforementioned areas to live up to its reputation.

I think he's a good vocalist, but his vocals do kinda drag it down for me in parts. That's my early impressions at least.

He sounded really timid on El Cielo. If you wanna hear him actually sing freely and with emotion, listen to Catch Without Arms or Pariah.

I like the review. Dredg are amazing. El Cielo I think is their best album, and perhaps my favorite album in general. Catch without arms is also fantastic, however, the individual songs are good, rather than the whole album working as one. Pariah, parrot and the delusion I actually really enjoyed too. Better than catch without arms (maybe becuause the concept was stronger, like el cielo) but i really enjoyed it.
