So, I have to say I was struggling with this album at first but I thought it rallied a bit at the end. I reviewed 5 instrumental albums today and I’m thankful that this was not another instrumental. The vocals are a bit raw, so I was wondering if I should be careful what I wish for.
The album started out a bit like a to hard version of Mars Volta or Origin of Animal. But the more I listened the more I liked it. It sounds mostly like a punk album at first but upon further listening I can see how prog fans might like that just like they seem to like The Fierce and the Dead.
