Damn....thanks! 
May I have a detailed review? |
Sorry about the delay in this. Real-life has been a pain in the scrotum lately.
To start - overall this is a really excellent disc. Some of my criteria for CD selection these days is something I can listen to in the car without having to jump around for songs I like. The place I work for has seven locations around the state so occasionally my job keeps me in the car for a long stretch. CD's that I can just let play through tend to get the most listening.
Although there were MP3's available I did order this blind; mostly on faith from Package. It's nothing like a Package CD. Some rockers, some nice mellow tunes, and some moody atmospheric pieces. By the numbers -
Overture - Sets the tone for the rest of the disc quite nicely
Color Information - One of my two favorite songs on the disc. I like the harmony in the chorus and the song has a great beat to it.
Your Deliverance Will Come - A little more mellow than my tastes have been running lately. Not one of my favorites but not one I would skip over.
Circus of Light - Second of my favorite two songs on the disc. Nice moody start - and I love it when the guitars kick in. And the solo - as someone with no musical talent it makes me sick with envy. Excellent.
Dreamstations - Another on the mellow side, but the nice guitar work puts this above Your Deliverance Will Come for me.
Finale - Sort of in the wrong place on the disc, considering the title. Very cool musically.
Egyptian Tapestry - Funky vocals on this one, but I like. Right up there as one of my favorites
Apples, Kisses, and other Blessings - Real sweet. Gives me sort of a drifting feeling.
Nazarene - Another great tune to sort of space out to, but darker than Apples, Kisses, and other Blessings.
Killers - Nice funky, jazz feel. Love it
Glory and Skin Evolution - Really like the lyrics on this one. And extremely solid muscially. Wish they'd play more like this (and Color Information) on the radio.
And the hidden track - very cool.
All in all, very immpressive. I await the next disc eagerly.
