Album Review by Sovereign

What comes after the ‘Station’ album? ‘Geneva’ and it is better. It is more than better. It is huge. I was expecting their 3rd release, and I think I am pretty satisfied with this album. This period of time (autumn) a post-rock album, atmospheric as this one, is the most appropriate sound to listen. The band creates heavy rock and ambient metal compositions which stuck in my mind. Fantastic progression in their music structure, excellent sounds and a more metal attitude than ever before. I need some more listens to understand this one, but I am already pretty sure that this album is quite close to my music taste, and their post-rock is better than ever before. Fans of GY!BE, mogwai, Isis, Pelican, Porcupine Tree, Pain of Salvation will appreciate this. ‘Geneva’ is the most progressive album of them and I think this style is better than before, because in all these myriads of albums around post-rock, you need something fresh and different to make it favourite.
