Free Music Review: Honest, strong, and under control while being completely out of.
Hit: 5 Stars
Treat this album with more than one listen and you're in for a REAL diamond in Omar's already large catalog of releases. Just wanted to say that off the bat because a lot of people I know just hear the "freak out" parts and just sort of shut down to the album, which is a real shame.
The album I daresay is Cedric's finest hour... Everything he says just feels real, not contrived but not improvisational, not arbitrary yet never clear. I could go on and on about the singing on this album, I'm really not sure why, but the anger or I guess ferocity with which he says most of the lyrics it just really is great.
Omar and Zach are (un)surprisingly an incredible match. If you're thinking the two are going to sound like TMV mixed with Hella, you're right. Omar's guitar parts are more like that of his work on De-Loused surprisingly... much more riffed based throughout but when the solos come, they COME. Zach of course is a force of nature but under control and on top of the beat, while still delivering his incredibly musical and melodic drumming to Omar's "madness". The bass(es?) are fantastic. The bassline and beat on Half Kleptos is just damn tight.
I'm just going to add: Once you get past the track "Noir" you're in for a serious treat if you remotely like anything associated with these artists... It's just truly incredible.
My only fear is that this just becomes another one time thing with Omar... Would be a damn shame. While I don't expect a new album any time soon, I really, really hope something happens with this group in the future. The chemistry is just too good to not continue.
I can see how this album simply doesn't appeal to certain people, but really I'm astonished by the amount of Omar and Hill fans who found this "too weird". It's seriously good.
