An interesting instrumental album that utilizes electronic in it's songs often, quite well, too. The electronic usage is found almost immediately with the start of the album on
I Eat Your Heart , and continues into
The Famine. I'm beginning to believe that the album is actually more electronic with rock/metal influence, not vice versa. I enjoyed the rhythms, but overall, the first two tracks sounded pretty similar overall. The Famine had a buildup I very much enjoyed later in the song, however.
Hope on Black Wings is where I first really noticed why Eze suggested this. The song begins with some dark tones played at moderate speed on a guitar, then some heavy electric (guitar and literal electronic) kick in. The switching between calm and heavy in this song was really nice.
My Love Undone has some great bass usage, throughout the song, however the synth melody I wasn't a fan of, that felt a little bland. Again, this song was pretty electronic.
Lure the Vultures and
Scattered were nothing special for the album, really. Sounded more or less identical to the first two tracks.
The Path to Abandonment and
The Collective were more songs that the influence of Rock/Metal was heard, blending it with the electronic. These were most likely my second and third favorite songs. The remaining songs go back to being more generic electronic, nothing interesting.
Overall, the album was pretty unexciting to me. Hearing the first song (before hearing the others, obviously) was pretty cool, but after that it just felt like the same thing over and over again to me, nothing to dramatic changed. Also it was a bit closer to electronic than Rock/Metal, I'd say. Not necessarily bad, but not my cup of tea either. I wish it was a bit less electronic, really.
★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆ 5 - Decent

My next review(s) will likely follow the same structure, with more or less detail depending on the genre and/or my knowledge of the given situation.
