"Closure In Moscow's "First Temple" is without a doubt, one of the best albums released thus far in 09'. I say this knowing full well that there is still 7 months left for bands to release a potential "album of the year." This one will be hard to top.
This band delivers pure musical talent mixed with genuinely amazing song writing skills. Much like many other previous EVR bands, Closure In Moscow incorporates technical proficiency with melodic song structures to create an excellent 12 track album packed with musical bliss. This album flaunts a crystal clear production coupled with crisp vocals and extra tight musicianship. From the very first track you will be absolutely floored by what this band has to offer.
Obvious influences ranging from The Mars Volta to Circa Survive can be heard throughout the album, there's no denying it. However, with that being said, CIM undoubtedly retain their musical integrity by bringing their own unique style to the table.
First Temple is diverse enough to appeal to all kinds of music lovers, making it a must own album for 09'
