![]() Guitars are sober or heavy (very powerful sound on Everybody takes the plane). I'd like to highlight the extraordinary drummer's job, along with the bassist's one. Violin/Cello's job is so excellent that I don't miss the keys. This album is an excellent first album for Sweek. Their music is still a bit compartmentalized, but very inspired. "Summer Trip" is just a vocal evocation with some guitar notes. The album really takes off with "Microbacterium Leprae", in a darker atmosphere. "Everybody takes the plane" is an unbelievable song which seems to review all emotions' gamut with a brilliant cello/violin work. "Creutzfeld Jacobs" is colder, but compensated by "Things are Bigger Then They Appear", which contains a heavy crescendo (with guitars on the foreground). Then, "James' Piano" arrives : it's a only-piano track, with a melodious expression going harder and harder, which is developed in "New James", an epic piece that can make someone's flesh creep. Mine, for example. Length : nearly one hour of music. Ok > 1/1 Compositions quality : Brilliant Very touching. > 10/10 Instruments diversity : the music is a bit too guitar-lead. Excellent violin/cello's work > 3/5 Tracks personal appreciation : 1/ Summer Trip : 2/5 2/ Microbacterium Leprae : 4/5 3/ Everybody takes the plane : 5/5 4/ Creutzfeld Jacobs : 5/5 5/ Things are Bigger Then They Appear : 5/5 6/ James' Piano : 3/5 7/ New James : 5/5 (so 29/35) Bass contribution : 3/3 > brilliant and heavy. Drums contribution : 3/3 > powerful and inspired. Guitar(s) contribution : 2/3 > Good job. Violin and cello : 3/3 > absolutely masterpiece. I'm still wondering where's my mind. "Prog" level : 8/10 > some keys could improve this, but that's just my opinion. TOTAL : 62/73 TOTAL ON TWENTY : 16,986/20 NUMBER OF STARS : 4,2/5
