Beautiful Scarlet

Three songs, two ten minute long VDGG standards and a sidelong.

This is an album I've tried to make myself like but I just don't. The first two songs in the grand scheme of the VDGG universe are rather average songs, outdone by more powerful songs like Lost or Arrows.

Finally "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" is actually pretty bad. The sections don't go together, the song lacks direction, the singing is some of Hammils worse (there's a sea shanty section? ) and the audio is mixed very badly (I shouldn't have to constantly fiddle with the volume to hear half the song without destroying my speakers at others.)

Overall this album is probably the bands worse in my eyes after ALT.
