ALL RIGHTS REMOVED

That was the first work of the band I had a chance to listen to after being very impressed with Bjorn Riis' solo album Fimbulvinter. Right from the start, All Rights Removed gave me clear vibes of Porcupine Tree, with passionate, crying- like solo guitar work reminiscent of David Gilmour. The vocals sound strikingly similar to Steven Wilson, adding to that haunting, melancholic atmosphere.

The lyrical themes revolve around inner struggles, heavy emotions, and a sense of loss, which is perfectly complemented by the introspective nature of the band's music. While the chord progressions stay in the realm of classic rock or post-rock simplicity, the long, immersive song structures shift the album closer to epic progressive territory.

The production is nothing short of stunning. Every chord, every cymbal hit is rendered with pristine clarity, showing the engineer's meticulous attention to detail. There's a cinematic feel throughout the album, as if each track tells a slow-burning emotional story.

All Rights Removed is a sad, but incredibly beautiful work. It's a deeply immersive experience that fans of atmospheric progressive rock will truly appreciate. This album has certainly made me want to explore more of Airbag's discography. 4/5
