Brilliant review. Although I am Greek too I am not a huge fan of clarino, however I will definitely give it a listen as I enjoy stoner.

We gotta get this to 21 votes and top of the Sputnik charts



That would be pretty cool dude but can we get to that threshold?



The threshold is on 11 votes for the genre charts and 21 votes for the "all genres" charts.

@deslad

I can definitely see where you're coming from. If/when you listen to the album, let me know who it sounds.



@ExcentrifugalForz

Thanks dude. Glad you enjoyed the album.

"The threshold is on 11 votes."



Really? I don't see anything in the 2014 charts with lower than 21 votes

The vocals kill this for me, but it definitely has some sweet spots.

Yeah the vox definitely aren't the strongest point, it's probably better if you're Greek

Agreed guys. I thought the same thing while I was listening to the album and wrote it in the penultimate paragraph. The band has said that their next album will be quite different than this one and probably have less folk elements.

Yeah, same here; they give an awesome flavor to their music. They will definitely go for different lyrics though which is quite reasonable considering most of them are not written by them.

I just listened to this and I have to admit that it is way better than I expected.

Have been waiting to listen to it since it got out and now I've got tha chance. Indeed sounds experimental and folk-y. I like the vocals, can't understand why they are 'hated'

I guess that it sounds weird to the non native Greek speaker to combine psych/stoner with Greek lyrics, from a musical standpoint. I don't think that it has to do with the fact that people don't understand the lyrics rather than they just "sound" weird and foreign.

Yep, that must be it. Greek lyrics had not appeared at the point I wrote the comment.

Could have used more "ni" and "li" in his singing though.
