II. It was a pretty awesome album, and started off with a fantastic heavy post-rock bang. If there's one thing about the album that I would condone as my favourite, I'd say that the drumming has to take the cake; it's just outright brilliant. Apart from that, the guitars and bass were pretty good, but, at times, they do fall into that cliched pit of post-rock-isms that haunt so many bands, but they tend to capture their own unique sound throughout the course of the album. The songs have great climaxes and the build-ups to said climaxes are not so bad either. The song
N5 is the only low point on the album in my eyes, the band should have just made a longer song out of
N5 Coda instead. The highs of the album are the opening song (
Intro/SP)and closing song (
N5 Coda), both of which are great tunes. This album does have intriguing textures in the timings, the feedback excursions, the relationship between the drums and the bass, and the raw guitar sounds.
Thanks for the album, Phantom Limb, can't wait to unveil more great textures in the future.
