well, i guess i will preface my comments by saying that i consider how it
feels to be one of the top 3 albums of the 90's. probably # 1. that
album has broke me down and built me back up countless times. so nothing,
especially after 10 listens can hold a candle to how it feels.
this said, the new album is fantastic. sdre dares to be different on
every album, and again they are successful. they make good use of the
studio's money, the album is well produced. its nice to hear such a clean
sound. a nice mix of guitar, orchestration and near eastern music.
their evolution from HIFTBSO feels natural and logical. only
on the first track did i not like how jeremy's voice was mixed. the
lyrics seem a bit more linear.
anyhow, big thumbs up. i wish i were a better critic
