Not bad.
The guitar tapping kind of reminded me of Michael Hedges, especially on the opener. A fair band can become a good band following the Explosions in the Sky crescendo method. And then notch it up again by keeping it instrumental. Disliked the skit or whatever you want to call it at the end. More ambient and less prog would've served this record better. They're no Rush. Also, keeping the guitar patterns locked in to traditional tonality started to leave me cold. More Tim Hecker, more post-rock crescendo cliches and give me some touches of Gorguts or Flipper or something. Put some garlic in the sauce. Or take that prog thing and bend it. Still, a surprising 3/5 stars.
