Wobbler - Rites at Dawn

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I really love Rites at Dawn by Wobbler for a number of reasons.
First: the instrumental portions of Rites @ Dawn are well composed and feature absolutely delicious chord progressions. Listening to "In Orbit" for the first time was a jaw dropping experience for me. Second: I really like Prestmo's vocals. I think he's the definitive addition to the band. Prior to Rites @ Dawn the vocal portions of Wobbler's music felt kinda lacking and even a little bit off-putting. I know that many of you have totally opposite feelings about this but whatever. And last but not least, the thick production of R@D is pure ear candy. Each time I listen to the album I notice something new in the mix. I really do hope at least some of you can agree with me, because after all R@D is a very dividing album (you can tell even judging by the PA reviews alone). Some might say the sound of the album is a clone of Yes but to be honest I don't care if something is a clone of something else when the music itself is of such high quality.

BTW I recently watched the promo video of From Silence to Somewhere. I'm super excited.

	Oh you mean the secret album Yes made between The Yes Album and Fragile? It's pretty good

	R@D is a superb album. Glad someone else thinks highly of it Hinterland is my personal favourite though.

	I like it a lot! In fact I'm listening to now. It does sound like a secret YES album. Edited by omphaloskepsis - November 03 2017 at 12:19
