Review

A rock track again, with a very strong start. From the first second of the song, you are interested, the first sound continues for some time before changing into the main focus of the song, slow drums and electric guitar, and lots of change in what the guitar or the drums play. The guitar is used for drone in the background too also, especially when the song quietens down at about 4 minutes 30 seconds, because here, there's the drone and the drums, with some other instrument in the background with the drone, but because its so subtle, its hard to recognise the instrument. Ar about 8 minuts, the song cuts into this instrument only, and then you can hear the sound better, maybe its a piano with lots of distortion? No one knows. This part is very interresting, because its a continuation of the last part, because it keeps the last part and then deletes the guitar and the drums, to leave the drone and the strange sound only, and this creates the idea that the song starts heavy and intense with the first part, but then slows down into a more quiet part. In all of the parts, the main ideas are executed well, and create a lovely atmosphere. This continues to 23 minutes, and then, the guitar and the drums start again! This time, its much more intense than the start, with lots of random ideas being thrown around, its hard to describe but the song goes completely crazy. Fast drums, coarse guitar, maybe the sound of a person in the background? The song introduces distortion also, and changes the pitch of the drum sounds sometimes to become a higher or lower pitch, and also cuts the sound into pieces and stitches them back together again to create a different effect. Near the end, the song becomes more distorted, with lots more layers of distortion above the drums, its very hard to describe because its so different to everything else in the song because of the random changes and speed. In a way, its similar to some breakcore songs from Halley Labs because of the distortion on the drums, And then, in the last two minutes, the song changes back to the sound from the start, to finish. This song is amazing, mainly because of the last segment and the great sound. There are some people that say that the sound is poor, and low quality, but like the song. To be honest, the low quality isnt important and its better for the song, in Lâns opinion. The parts before the end are great also, but the last part is perfect.
