CD Reviews

...the sky swallowed him up...leaving him with the only thin

OMNIGOSS | UK | 06/13/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"...I find these kinds of bands a joy and at the same time difficult to review...because it's easy to be descriptive but if I were to thoroughly analyze the music I wouldn't find much there...and that's the way I like it...

...the way I think of this album is like flying...you fly around the empty skys...the rush of wind in your ears producing feedback and squeaky sounds...every now and then you may fly into a storm and hear the low sinister hum of riffs or the grumble of a fuzzed up bass...but when you reach the storm...you fly as slowly as you can...because you're so scared of being swallowed up...in the end it's easier to accept your fate...and then it makes it more of an achievement to survive...

...all of the songs are very long...and truly feel like a gradual metamorphis as the title suggests "Skin Turns to Glass" would be very correct...because it feels like you are waiting for the impossible to happen...

...throughout the entire piece you are consumed by the music...waiting patiently for it to end...until the whole mood eats you up...and you never want it to end...or you'll feel so empty that you actually wait for it to come back to you...

...once you reach the song called "Slow Loss" there is nothing more accurate as you are very gradually saturated in this huge dark atmosphere for over ten minutes...in the end you think it'll never go away...but when it begins to fade...you feel your head getting heavy with thoughts...you have the urge to play the track again...but it would still take too long to kick in...then you play through the longest track "Untitled" hoping to find the answer to this track...but what you find is a new question entirely...

...this is for people that wish to listen to music that will consume them...saturate them...and become them...mainstream media would never play or recommend this...as this is a journey you must find without people poking you in the right direction..."

Great desk work music

"Great desk work music. You must read OMNIGOSS's review. I couldn't say it any better."
