don't listen to ivan. read some of his other posts. the guys fucking mental.
seriously off his fucking head.
either way a lot of things work very well here.
i enjoy it greatly, but i think there are tempo changes that could be implemented better.
song structures are fucking fantastic though.
think the inclusion of the acoustic stylin is also fucking fantastic.
only real problem i really percieve in the music styling is that the voice sounds a bit generic. not that the style doesnt work, just you need something a little more different. try following the music differently. or putting accents in the wrong place.
also sometimes the music comes across as a wall of sound rather than craftly complexly, when it clearly has been crafted quite well. maybe change the levels of the instruments at certain points?
this whole thing sounds a lot more negative than it should be. i rarely find something good enough to warrent reviewing. :)
I feel from the previous release of asylum theory, which is no longer here? That you have matured as an artist, the sound is crisper and it seems to take you on a gentle venture rather than be so excitable. I didn't like the track where nobody dies, it was too long and felt more like an interlude.
I'm genuinely impressed as to how this comes together as an album and the professional quality of it, that is one of the reasons for such a high score. I do find some of the songs revert back to simplistic drum beats a bit too often for me, where I prefer them a little more complex sometimes. :)
Thanks for the link to the album, I don't check this as much as i used to!
I give it an 8 because the whole band is so talented and the music is fucking amazing, but theres so much talent there that I can tell if there is a next one its gonna be better. Im reserving those points for you guys to fulfil.
Aside from that im damn impressed.
from what ive heard so far its not my genre.
saying that i can appreciate most types of most and though this is interesting in that its in spanish i believe, i hear nothing in the vocal arrangements which particularly distinguish the music.
saying that the guitar is very nicely crafted, shame about the drums but given the genre thats not entirely surprising.
lacks the power id expect from rock though.
this sounds quite negative but its not meant to be its just surprising that im finding so many faults with a product so finished, probably due to my dislike of the genre. BUT saying that the faults im finding would lead one to believe that actually that gives the album more credit by sounding like any product which people would normally pay for. So you get a 7/10

I'd offer a higher rating but the overall sound doesnt quite sound finished and a little ragged which may just be the mastering but still is very enjoyable. ive recommended it to friends. :D
love the first two tracks especially.
enjoyable lyrics but the 2nd half of the album bored me..
went from a grimy enjoyable catchy experience to lack lustre and lacking the last albums pull.
shame.
Fantastic free and grimy.
bit fragmented but thats the only thing in its way.
