Review by Tomza
If you would like to summarize in one sentence my feelings associated with "Staring At The Divine" I'd have to write something like, 'damn enjoyable album in the reception, besides just reminds me of the reasons pozamuzycznych. " Climate noon here in the U.S. feel km, although it is worth noting that more uświadczymy play with the neighborhood stoner / doom than is the case in almost star-studded (but highly celebrated by me) Down. Spicy guitar Erik Larson and Ryan Lake'a pushed by the majority of the album tracks, but I must admit that, despite its specific chwytliwości are not overly lively play, which means that even this southern music requires some familiarity before they can comprehend, tame and will learn from each other full of joy. Particularly, the attention attracted by blues-based (but far from simple) guitar solos. In short - they are kick-ass and racjowne. And that should be required to team likes ATP.
Positive impressed here too distinctive singer Johnny Throckmorton, for which I would see engagement as both in the hit rock and suffocating death metal. Lord, this is usually sung, half-clear and zadziornym, (I write at once that definitely male) voice, she can But go very successful, smooth growl without napinki, which presents a devilishly hard "Shapeshifter". Songs are varied. The album opens up a bit and quickly sabbathowski wbijający wżynający in memory of "Ol 'Unfaithful', where a meaty riffs might thing that are broken ... and kick-ass at the same time. Song intrigued enough to unusual places (which does not mean that unusual) rhythm. Then we fast, you really hit a piece of the album - "Motor Ready." Dirty, hard and fast, and for dessert a great moto-momentum. Third track is the aforementioned "Shapeshifter", where enormously heavy shelling intertwined with zawadiackim, quite ethereal chorus. A piece of bursting from the emotions, is angry as ancient gods and epic as the works of poets who sang praises to the gods. In "The Whore Adore luzacki totally dominates, zwalający feet riff, complemented by expressive melodic lines Throckmorton, which feel a kind of youthful male Added to this are great to play solo. In "Hunting the Echo team makes the pot more conventional melody, nostalgic I would say that does not mean that it is banal and devoid of depth. At first listening, this song knocked me now I know it's brilliant. Perfectly balanced weight and featherweights and evocative dream-like atmosphere to truly correspond to a clear climax in the middle of the piece. The next hymn is "Beck and Call," where Johnny once again proves that he can ryknąć, so that the fall meadow, with no tears snout as callow young shaver. Lots of nice łojenia, and in addition many associations melodies to me a little bit with some folk on coke or other podrasowanymi Irish songs;) is the seventh runaway hit, "Twilight Arrival" which again makes itself felt pretty damn well-tailored oneiric climate. Maybe even a bad dream-like determination. In any case, music does not sleep, but rather creates the illusion of departing into the distance while staring at the constellation of stars. Thing, you can: refreshed following acoustic blues in the first half of the twentieth century, combined with metal jebnięciem south. The number eight is "Esteem Fiend." Heavy, greasy, very lively and dynamic number of delicious harmonies. I must admit that at first I ignored it completely. But now I know it's fucking rocking, and still very rough roller - I like these calls. The ninth piece is "ssdd" tells the story of life on the road. If, however, before he paints you a vision of bars, embarrassing zaśpiewów, - quiet if that's not such a place here. It is possible that my favorite song on this album. Powerfully catchy, broken melodies, motor skills and a lot of interesting compositionally hit relief. A theme with lush, dashed against poklasków solo, it's ecstatic peak of excitement, which the listener can experience!
voltage slowly goes down to the sound of "Amounts That Count," which is something like a fast, somewhat technical country. But do not flee in panic. It's very stylish, with space catchy song, and not some kind of Italy (though many will still see it so.) With the right wokalizom gentlemen have done with this surprisingly good oi hot number, which I, for example, can not fly out of the head.
summary - strong position for the longer amount of odsłuchań. It improves mood, adds strength without losing the melody and pierdolnięciu. Music is not just to commune with piwku - here is something more. First of all, a lot of specific and difficult to express in words the atmosphere. And zero boorishness.
