Amazing
5
By Sebmark
Harbinger- solid song with some great instrumentals and solid vocals 7/10
Self Portraits Of The Instincs- Better than the last one , it has better vocals , an infectiously catchy chorus and some cool odd times 9/10
Nocturne- An epic song worthy of the album name , although is a little all over the place , and that's why it isn't the best even though it has amazing sections it doesent flow as well 9/10
Crossing The Rubicon- arguably the best song on the album , it's held back by nothing and all of the members fulfill their role and mix together amazingly to create this masterpiece 9/10
Sotto Voce- This song correctly describes the guitarist ( Aj ) genius musical skill at classical guitar and was an impressive instrumental and shouldn't be skipped 7/10
Mea Cupla- Although it has and epic solo , the vocals lack , the bassist however has an epic intro with the drums , and it's the instruments that save the song 7/10
Movement from Discord- Is a more mainstream song , although is amazingly catchy and very easy to listen to and straight foward , is a very good song 9/10
Channel Detritus- Is the lowest song on the album because of how it was put together , it seemed like they put no work , and has some cool parts , just doesent have the ambition the rest of the songs have , and is an okay listen 6/10
Polaris- My favorite song on the album because it has everything needed and again is a straight foward song and features an amaZing guitar line , words can't describe how this song is , everything shines on this album 10/10
Echoes To Molotovs - Is short but very jam packed , this is the song on the album where you want to kill someone .
It starts fast , and doesent slow down 8/10
Desiderata-
Another instrumental , is strong but drags on just a little bit , however leads into the song that's next PERFECTLY! 7/10
Vela Together We Await The Storm- The highlight of the album , and ended the album with a bang ! It's explosive , creative , and in your face ! 10/10
Overall is one of my favorite albums and has the perfect balance of technicality and catchyness ( now it's a word) and if you like good music listen to this , nothing has ever sounded like it , and there's something so
Special and ambitious about this album and is highly underrated
