Initial impressions:r$ This is ultimately what I'd expect from BTBAM: songs are tightly mixed and as eclectic as rever. Song structures are well composed with the exception of the occasional WTF moments r(albeit few, see Bloom), and a little bit of what some may deem "wankery".r$ Vocals around 6:30 in Lay Your Ghosts to Rest blew me away, even better that it's raccompanied with exceptional bass/drum rhythms and a jazzy lead guitar that blends into the roverall mix (this isn't Selkies, mind you).r$ That is some serious circus shit @ 4:22 in Extremophile Elite. Love it!r$ Silent Flight Parliament is by far the longest song, exceeding 15 minutes. I found myself rskipping forward to the 13:00 mark for a much needed break in the chaos, and though it's a rbeautiful segue for the outro, I was wishing for more of a classical piano breakdown.r$ FML, I can't believe I'm listening to this without proper studio headphones. The rproduction is great, as usual. |
