Album description

For those who don't have the album yet:

Balance Instars is a 60-minute journey through our collective mind. Although each song has been crafted to tell its own story, the actual CD contains transitions between the tracks which ties the album together into a continuous journey. This is an Album-Lover's album, like the ones we grew up on. But it doesn't sound like anything you've heard before.

The album is also avaialable on iTunes, Please note that the download version available here and on the iTunes store will NOT include the transitional audio from the CD, making it about 7 minutes shorter in total.

A long time Coming: and Definitely Worth the Wait!

Besides i am this, Of The I was the other band I've discovered when I first started going to this website that stuck with me through the years. They're actually quite good, and a full review of their music is something I always wanted to do ever since I wrote a mini-review of their sampler for this album 2 years ago. Back then I stated that this band is just getting better and better. After the 2 year absence and comeback to jamendo with their debut album for free I can say that that's still an understatement.

The first thing to realize is that if you haven't downloaded anything from them yet, just download this album, all of their songs from Demo-noid EP and the 3 piece sampler of this album is on this album, but remastered and in official "album version"...

... so in other words it's a remastered version of all of their songs put into one place.

But wait there's more!

There are 3 new tracks on this album (Instars, Ascend, and Modern Equivalent) Each of them having the same progressive style as the songs that precede them.

On a final note, this album is a crown achievement of a band that might or might not become as big as bands like Porcupine Tree who share very similar stylings, but they deserve every bit of the fame they get. If you're a Progressive rock fan, Check them out. If you're a regular rock fan, Check them out, Hell if you're just looking for something different, Check them out!

I said in my review of the sampler that they're going to be big someday. This album perfectly shows how they could be if more people knew about them.

.....by musicians who are playing well known genres, but trying
to find new paths to walk on. And "Of the I" have done damned good here. This is quite a unique, outstanding and brillant rockstyle.
Simply a diversified, eclectic, innovative, professionally produced rock album.

Thumbs up

This, is an album with a peculiar capability of keeping my interest from one extreme to the other. Very rich musically and sonically substantial, doesn't comply specifically with one or two particular genres, instead, seems to agglomerate quite a few, while effectively, also being capable of showing a strong personality and identity. Rock, is perhaps the starting point, or its general pavement, but, all along the sinuous way, there are a lot of different incidences and incursions, which make of the album an authentic pleasure to explorer and discover. Despite my inadequacy to describe it, in terms of an easy comprehension, I strongly recommend it to all those who enjoy alternative rock music with some resourcefulness, somehow similar to the progressive structures.

Definitely essential and an opportunity not to loose.

Well worth the wait, actually better then expected, if that was even possible. I like the new arrangements, it gives a whole new dimension o the songs. Love the post apocalyptic feel to the whole album. Kick in the gut rock at it's best. Thank You!!!
