Coda is a strong EP that goes into even more technical directions then the preceding full length album Bonsai. Each of the 4 tracks are challenging and adventurous compositions, with math-metal rhythm guitars and outstanding soloing, but I can't say that the changes with Bonsai are all for the good. A first minus comes from the production. The band must have opted for a more common metal sound with harsh and loud medium frequency levels and little or no dynamics. It's quite disappointing after the powerful and natural sound they had. Another remark concerns the addition of vocals. Most tracks are still instrumental but the vocals on Zeitgeist for instance make the band sound too similar to Meshuggah and makes them lose some of their uniqueness. Coda is a good item for fans but not your place to start if you want to discover this talented band.
