You can notice the amount of work the band put in to this album, vocals are very emotional, the bands work around the vocal tracks provided is probably near perfect. Not their best but highly recommended

The one intangible thing about The Mayan Factor's music is the fact that you can always imagine them all sitting around a campfire and just letting loose. Each song here is fitting for the end of the era for these guys, the last smoldering of what was a vibrant fire, before, quite literally, returning to the earth.

Yesterday?s Son does not contain new material per se but rather a collection of songs that began as demos and recorded in various sessions before Ray-Ray's death. From the style of the songs in this album, it is obvious that these demos have been recorded some time before or after the 44 period. 'Preacher's Daughter' has an air of 'Propaganda', while the line "there's blood on your shoes" found in 'A Life and a Shovel' was previously used in track "To Kill a Priest". On the same tone, 'Dead Leaves' and 'Parabellum' are surely two tracks that match the atmosphere of 44. The excerpts of Ray-Ray speaking before the start of some songs, add an extra layer of melancholy to the sorrowful feeling that exists. Recommendations: "Parabellum", A Life and a Shovel", "Dead Leaves".

An art rock group from Baltimore, The Mayan Factor have an ethnic sound, using atmospheric percussion (kongas and drums), acoustic guitars, various keyboard samples and tribal bass to an melodic, intense effect. The Mayan Factor could equally be called progressive rock as they could be lumped into the space rock category, one thing setting them apart from most artists in these genres is that the vocalist raps on occasion. Don't let this deter you, because it's an altogether interesting and one of a kind experience.
