I'm a little over halfway through the new Nachtmystium album and am starting to form my first impressions on it. First impressions are good, I'm not sure if I like it as much as their last two Black Meddle albums, but the things I do like about the band (audible bass, good production, interesting guitar arrangements, etc.) are still here. This is a little more straight forward than their previous two albums and don't feature anywhere near as many blatent psychedelic moments, but they're still there, just more so in the background. The song I posted is probably the closest to their last two albums, which is where I started so that's why I may seem to be stuck on the issue. Basically it's a pretty happy marriage between their more experimental sounds of the Black Meddle albums and their more straight-forward 2006 album Instinct: Decay.
