NOW AND THEN

So yeah Keyboard dominated music with singing as another prominent element. Unfortunately when the fellas play they forgot to write songs and not just play scale really fast. The album has a vapid feel to it, unpolished and not with production but in the songwriting department. This brings me to my next issue, the singing. I like alot of bands people would consider to have terrible singers, my issue with singing here is not their ability to sing. My issue is that what they are singing does not improve the music rather it adds to the mediocrity by being devoid of memorability. My other issue is that the singer INSISTS on singing like a bad X Factor contestant, they constantly bend pitch and add all these unnecessary sounds. This doesn't give off the impression of a skilled musician but one full of themselves. Other singers of lesser talent work around it with fx like Camel (moonmadness) or mix the vocals in a manner that doesn't bring them to the forefront. Instead Easter Island has vocals proudly displayed in all their less then stellar splendour.

The music here is average symphonic that one can hear better in greater quantity by bands like Glass Hammer, Hands, Wobbler, Triumvirat or Druid. 3/5
