VIOLET EP

Violet is, I believe, the colour of love (at least in Green Lantern lore), in our real life world, it is quite a disputed colour, battling with purple (PA) and looking sometimes a lot like pink one. But we can safely assume it's a positive emotion, which is important in evaluation of this shortie of an album. There again, after diving into weird colour of "indigo", TDH again started to sound like them, their unique mix of melody, cabaret-like performances (even in the era where cabarets ran rampart, the music was completely different, I can imagine them on stage of one in something like 1910s). Return to form.

Holy f*cking sh*t.

To put into perspective the gap of quality between this EP and the rest: I would rather have this EP and losing the other eight instead keeping the other eight and losing this one.

After the two rather average EPs preceding this one, I was personally starting to get a little disappointed in the whole "The Color Spectrum" experience, I was getting bored. Then Mr. Malum started playing, and my entire body got straightened while my attention was regained instantly.

Violet is completely theatrical, think of songs like Revival from Act V. Songs are either bombastic and energetic or soulful and beautiful.

The EP begins with a classic, Mr. Malum. One of their best and most inspired songs to date. Everything about this track is memorable, especially the chorus. Lillian is a very beautiful ballads that maintains the theatrical vibe of the record. Too Late is similar to Lilliam but its chorus is even better, easily one of their best in their discography.Look Away features strong use of saxophone and works very well as an EP closer.

Five Stars absolutely, some of their best songs to date.
