My English is too limited really, to describe the awesomeness of this album. It is very moving, an emotional roller coaster. Ends almost too soon, but leaves just the right impact. Very mature musicianship, you can tell the band has been around, yet innovative and exciting, bold may I say. Just genius. Will take a lot of listens to digest it, this is serious work. Ivan (lead) plays so many notes :) but all of them are the right ones :) . He reached the point where chops, style and expressiveness are all united to convey the message, the intent is very present. It's musically packed, not a boring moment, so many melodic and rhythmic ideas in such a short time (yet catchy and enjoyable from 1st listen). Really really moving and passionate too, makes you wanna dance and cry and howl and start fires (and surf?). This top Surf instro act reaches new heights. The rest of the band of course, do their part magnificently, as well as the (again) bold and punchy production. It hits you in the gut, love it. Love the Baritone, the jungle drums, the theme, the way it evolves. It really translates as a voyage through the jungle, an expedition to unknown mysterious tribes. Who needs lyrics?! It ignites your imagination in such a way, that feels like being in an adventure movie. All the songs are amazing by their own, each conveying a "scene", with it's own atmosphere and instrumentation, done with great care for detail and emotional impact. Some cheery and optimistic, some downright scary. Leading to the climax - Those Chunka dripping bars in "The Ritual" that just hit the skull, what a sound! After those piercing, emotional solos, this private passage each listener has gone through, all unite to an intense, steady hypnotic trance of high energy Reverb. Like, "what you feel doesn't matter now boy, you've done your personal passage, it's RITUAL time now". After listening to this album, one needs at least 1 hour of complete silence, It's a sensory overload... you gotta meditate a bit... This album deserves to sell a lot and hopefully reach new crowds, as it is the best rock music in the world at the moment. Dread
