Music sounds and flows, which isn't really a feature of metal I'd say. In fact, there is very little here that you could call metal, especially given how organically this Stream of themes, repeated in different tonalities, in constant flux and - indeed - progressing. In fact, there are hardly any metal riffs at all, it's a developing Yes you can rest assured the songs aren't a typical If that matters to you, it's truly progressive. The nature of the music is rarely violent though, it's heavy yes, but it's mainly experimental and, They are not obtrusive and used sparingly. They might be off-putting to sensitive ears but The only element in the music that could be tagged slightly 'extreme' although they are notĪggressive, rather heavy, morose and nihilistic. The rest needs time: the guitars wade throughĭense chromatic chords and the vocals won't be your preferred option for a romantic night. Especially the fretless bass and drums are highlyĬaptivating and should please all fans of fusion. The music is truly unique, an eclectic blend of stoner doom, post metal, jazz progressions andĬonstantly varying tempos and time signatures. To let the album rest for a while and to give it another spin a few months later. Neurosis, a band that I deeply admire but find hard to get into as well. It has taken a while to absorb the dense sound of this band. Posted Sunday, Octo| Review this album | Report (Review #245134) However, this last "epic" (what?) is straightforward and funny (as an idea) Overall disappointment for me, as it's not offering much. I understand that Prehistoric times weren't symphony, but it wasn't necessary to make it too harsh. I think it would be better to listen this song first, then suffer through first songs and finally enjoy this epic again.Ģ(+), it has some moments (which are very rare). And while ("Fuck") is on, I simply have to smile. With changin pace ("Eat" I suppose) and weirdly appropriate ("Shit") and it's maybe strange if I'm telling it, but I actually like fourth part ("Fight"), it simply fits in here. It's a nice, calm song ("Sleep") in Indo/Raga rhythm and performance. Only exception is closing epic The Reptilian Brain. They're here, but they offer nothing to not much. Because having all album of terror for ears isn't simply the way how it should be done. But it's not that I just hate this style, I've tried "Giant Squid" and I was pleased. I feel that they're depending to noise, that it will cover their flaws. But first track here, The Literar Black Cloud haven't persuaded me. Because I can tolerate this, if it's interesting.īut not when it's boring martyrdom to listen. Good in it, except heavy sound and growling. But 4.67 rating, it's too high and I was expecting something Reviewers, but just from members, this should have warn me). So why I acquired thisĪlbum ? Because I saw so promising reviews here (even not from skilled collabs/ Well, maybe it's because I don't like death metal vocals much. Because the question is, where is this experiment ? So why I don't hear this masterpiece ? Also, this is more like Extreme Metal, thanĮxperimental. Now for something completely different (I mean insane), four reviews and all with 5-star
