Burial at Sea/Everlasting Light for me. Went to see them when they came here earlier this year, was awesome.

This kind of thing (experimenting with walls of sound) really needs fantastic recording quality becuase the musical quality is already at a severe limitation due to the nature of pieces which are almost crescendocore-esque at times as well as intervalic (with the interval between the guitar and the lowest pitch being largely responsible for the sound). I mean, it sounds kind of "nice" (which is essentially the goal of the album), however I could pick romantic piece x and find a nicer chord progression, and pick y psytrance/goa and find more interesting experimentations with sound. This is one for the hipsters (the people who like it because its obscure, not because it is good), IMO. The ablum doesn't offer anything particularly noteworthy or unique... Probably a 6.2/10 from me. Bit of a dud to be honest, I was expecting better from a band I was previously fairly interested in from you are there in 2008. |
