Album Rating: 5.0
Bosnian Rainbows, was one of the best things Omar has been a part of since Bedlam in Goliath. Teri Is a fantastic singer, each song on this album has it's own vibe and is executed quite brilliantly. Drumming is excellent, as are the rich baselines and synth work. It has an almost 80's synth rock vibe going on throughout which manages to sounds fresh, without ever feeling as if it is reaching for nostalgia. Personally I love this album and would really like to see more releases from this group of musicians.
I Feel like most people that hate this or give negative feedback, cannot take it for what it is and where expecting a sound more akin to TMV or ATDI. This project on its own merit is fantastic and definitely sounds to me like they had a lot of fun making it. This was not giving people what they wanted this was Omar learning to let go of ultimate control and collaborate on an equal plane with his collaborators. The results in my opinion are fantastic, and even more engaging when preformed live. Especially Teri's live performances.
