Customer Reviews
A slice of perfection
I don't write reviews very often but I just had to for this magnificent album. I can honestly say there isn't a duff track on it.
What we have here are 11 guitar-driven instrumentals (on the whole) and each one has more ideas in it than most albums have in their entirety. The band do the quiet-loud-quiet thing to perfection and have a fantastic ear for melody. Songs constantly surprise you, never going quite where you expect them to go. There are no vocals as such, just the odd shout to drive the song along. Although, on "Don't Waste Time Doing Things You Hate" they... well, I won't spoil it. Suffice to say that it sent shivers down my spine when I first heard it.
If you like melodious, inventive guitar rock then give them a try. If the piano on "The Voiceless" doesn't make you smile from ear to ear then you are dead inside!
Don't Waste Time Listening to Music that Isn't This
From Northern Ireland come a four-piece instrumental band that quite frankly have blown me away.
Worth Watching From Any Distance (7/10)
Indulgent, smile-inducing post-rock with its guitars firmly set to rock, despite their claims on `Set Guitars To Kill', this is Sigur Rós as envisaged by prog-metallers, Godspeed! with less intricacy, but everything turned up to eleven. A few quiet intros, like on `Start A Band' lull the collection toward punishing batteries. It could be Explosions In The Sky on steroids, Mono flexing their inner rock. It could even be an instrumental ... Trail Of Dead album; the band name certainly suggests an affiliation.
Herein however, lies the problem, whilst worthy, it is resolutely stamped with others' work. Not that that inhibits its enjoyment; just try and stop air-drumming or furiously introspective head banging at inopportune moments during a daily commute.
