So if you have seen my previous reviews or looked at my last.fm account , you would realize that I rarely listen to instrumental music.
This band and album of which I have never heard of before was quite a treat.
The band put out a very enjoyable album. As you will in the ratings below it is very accessible. It may get better with more listens but if you don’t find yourself liking at least parts of it on first listen I don’t think you need to try it again.
But I am guessing you will like it on first listen this album is full of crunchy guitars, nice changes with many different instruments leading different parts of each song.
