Customer Reviews

Atmospheric Progmetal...
Along with many other rock fans I bought this album on a recommendation, (of a journalist in Sounds{?} magazine who gave it a 5* review, stating it was the album of the year if not the decade). He was right. Jon Crosby creates a swooping, soaring aural masterpiece. Every track is a winner. Highlight for me is 'Touched'; African/Gregorian chants laced with aggressive acoustic guitar and powerful metal guitar buttoned down with pounding drumming - absolutely brilliant! On first listen to the cd I replayed this track immediately, even before I listened to the rest of the cd. It sent shivers down my arms and brought tears to my eyes it's that emotional, and still one of my top ten ever favourite tunes - and probably always will be. It's worth paying £15 for this one track - I kid you not. Incidentally, 'Songs for common people' and 'Nude' are great too.

Fantastic album
Stumbled upon vast whilst searching for other things, write ups sounded good, thought i would take a flyer and order it. It arrived and it is all i played for about three days, this album has everything. I suppose it helps being a NIN fan as i am, as there is a lot of NIN sounded stuff on this album, particulary the slower sounding Trent Reznor type tracks as well as the harder sounding influences. I have since ordered the other vast albums, however i suspect they wont be as good as this one, as this is an amazing album. I love all the tracks, however, the tribal sounds on Dirty Hole work so well and compliments the heavier nature of the song wonderfully. This song comes in a wave after hearing the superb Touched in all its emtional guises. Then into Pretty when you cry, again a brilliant song.

Quite simply, buy this album, I have, and would place it in a reasonably short list of my favourite albums ever.

Absolutely Fantastic
I first heard of this group while listening to a ramdom Anime Music Video and they used 'Pretty When You Cry.' I thought the lyrics were brilliant and obsessionate. (I love obsession) I later found someones fav song soundtrack and on it was 'Temptation.' Since then, I hunted and found the album.
I loved it. Rock music mixed with hauntingly beautiful sounds made me listen to this album again and again. No one around where I live has heard of Vast, but all that I've let listen to this album think its brilliant. Highly recommended.
