| 4.0 excellent | GibTG | February 20th 10 |
A concise, straightforward, crushing, and overall top-notch sludge effort that is a vast improvement over Scofield's previous work, "Harmonic Tremors."r"Bird of Prey" is much more than a collection of sludge-noise over harsh vocals. Simplicity with stellar songwriting (the definition of high musical value) keeps this album leaps and bounds above most acts that have jumped on the post-metal bandwagon. Influence from the prototypical post-metal acts is undeniable but "Bird of Prey" is presented in a much smaller sample size with just as much if not more ferocity than early Isis or Neurosis. Scofield's powerful vocals, his sense of atmosphere, and his chemistry with Aaron Harris (Isis) make "Bird of Prey" one of the top-five best post-metal albums of 2008.
