5.0 classic
Cathedral The Carnival Bizarre
More uptempo stuff than their previous albums, but it got its Forest Equilibrium moments too.
Seriously, nothing can top this combo of stoner and doom. Ah, and it's indeed bizzare. Expect many
different sounds in each song, weird and sometimes awkward vocals, and amazing riffs and solos.

Favourite songs: Hopkins, Night of the Seagulls (heavy), Utopian Blaster (especially the solo),
Fangalactic Supergoria, Carnival Bizzare (that weird scale changes at the end)
Incubus (USA-CA) S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
The best album that ever existed in the history of history.
Martin O'Donnell Halo Original Soundtrack

They've only made this EP and it is just ethereal, too bad they don't have plans for an LP yet.
Crash & Burn is a favourite

4.5 superb

Kinda unerrated album. Incubus were Mr. Bungle wannabes back then, but they nailed it. This is
funk/nu metal at its best. Nice riffs and amazing bass lines and solos, packed with a lot of
energy. rFavourite tracks: Speak Free, Hilikus, Psychopsilocybin

Perfect combination of psychedelic rock and greek fold music. Weird (I guess) for someone who
hasn't been exposed to the latter, but it is worth listening.

Spiritual Beggars Return to Zero
I love the heavier albums of SB, but this is just as good, just on a completely
different approach. Sometimes if feels like one of the previous singers would suit better, like in
"Lost in Yesterday". But overall, it has a classic rock vibe that suits both Ammot's playing and
Apollo's voice. I enjoyed it very much and find it very underrated...

Favourite tracks: "Believe in me", "Time to Live" (epic Uriah Heep cover), "Lost in Yesterday",
"We Are
Free", "A New Dawn Rising"

The only thing that saves this album is singer's angelic voice. Nothing new though, just uninspired female fronted doom.
