While the songs do blur together sometimes, the musicianship is clearly top-notch and more importantly the music comes across as fun and original. The whole album feels organic-- it doesn't sound like a band trying to climb to the top of a genre, but rather like it sprouted out of some late night jam session.Dark Tranquillity We Are the Void3.02009 Nice Wings, Icarus! Nice Wings, Icarus!3.0Good instrumental post rock with a violin taking the lead instead of vocals. Great background music for hanging out, upbeat and not drone prone, which suits me just fine. That said, with no vocals the songs don't really jump out at you and can blend together over the course of the album; hence my recommendation as background music. Nothing groundbreaking but I'd still recommend a listen to fans of post rock.Baroness Blue Record4.5Church of Misery Houses of the Unholy3.52008 Defeater Travels4.0Agalloch The White4.52007 Baroness Red Album3.0Kongh Counting Heartbeats2.5Not a big fan of the vocals. The music ranges from surprisingly good at points to being fairly predictable most of the time. I'd definitely pack a bowl before you listen; with the shortest song over 11 minutes its not something to listen to casually. In the right frame of mind it could be a fun album, but I was expecting a lot more.Hot Cross Risk Revival3.52006 Agalloch Ashes Against the Grain4.0Year of No Light Nord3.52005 Baroness Second3.5Kataxu Hunger of Elements4.0Gospel The Moon Is a Dead World3.52004 ISIS Panopticon4.0Circle Takes the Square As the Roots Undo4.52002 City of Caterpillar City of Caterpillar4.52001 pg.99 Document #84.52000 pg.99 Document #54.51999 Botch We Are the Romans4.51998 Belle and Sebastian The Boy With the Arab Strap3.51997 Judas Priest Jugulator1.0The Dwarves The Dwarves Are Young and Good Looking5.01990 Judas Priest Painkiller5.0
