Esoteric Subconscious Dissolution Into the...
The first Esoteric album with good production. This one feels like a bit of a warm up for the masterpiece that follows it, 'The Maniacal Vale', which almost renders this album obsolete. 'Blood of the Eyes' is a pretty fantastic track, however, and Morphia reaches a terrifying climax.

Yes Fly from Here
It's forgettable, but aside from Magnification and possibly Keystudio, it's the best thing Yes has released since
the '80s. This is because more than half of this record is based off of '80s demos, and for once the production
isn't atrocious. This album would certainly have been better if it had been recorded right after Drama with
Trevor Horn singing instead of a cheap Anderson soundalike, but we'll take what we can get. The title track
goes on for too long without enough variation, and some of the later songs feel a tad like filler, but this is
probably the best Yes today is going to get (as they've basically become a tribute band to their old selves).

Serj Tankian Orca Symphony No. 1
As when many other rock musicians have tried to venture into classical formats, Serj ended up writing music
that sounds more like a cliche film score with a slight Armenian folk flavor than a legitimate classical piece.
The last two movements are stronger than the first two, with the third (and strongest) displaying what may
be elements of American minimalism - but that is the only perceptible classical influence on this work. This
is truly a pop-symphony.

A Perfect Circle Eat the Elephant
-I love moody APC. Thirteenth Step is my favorite record they put out. This record,
despite its mellowness, is not moody - instead, it's a dull midtempo slog. The occasional
rocking moments don't even work thanks to a sloppy mix and bad tones.
-I really miss Josh Freese. The drums sounds aren't great, and many of the grooves are
much clunkier than usual. Billy can't even remember which session drummer played on which
song, which demonstrates an incredible lack of investment in the project on his part.
-The production is inconsistent to the point that some songs sound like they were pulled
off a different record (for instance, Delicious is much brighter than the rest and
actually has punchy drums). It makes the album feel unfinished.
-Billy plays more keyboards than guitar here, and his sound libraries aren't great. It
gives the record a cheap feel. Plus he's just not a very interesting keyboardist.
-I'm not sure what could be more ironic than listening to Maynard rant about kids these
days and the evils of technology while his voice here is more autotuned than a Taylor
Swift record. The lyrics are beyond insufferable get-off-my-lawn rants alternated with
more tired rants against the religious right. This guy has nothing left to say.
-Yikes, that cover.

The only positive thing I can say is that Feathers is a decent song that has some real
feeling in it, assuming you can look past the blatant tuning and the fact that it's
rather recycled.
