Though I only own Anathema's music catalogue from Natural Disasters to the present, my
feelings with regards to their music has remained fairly constant. I love their sound, I love their
spiritually-minded lyrical messages, I love the flow and feel of their records, I just find their
song-writing style too boring and repetitive: a song's opening riff or chord sequence is played
start to finish with nary a flutter or flourish, ad nauseum; they're Post Rock/Math Rock's staunch
poster child! But here, on Falling Deeper, the band may have stumbled upon their music's true
purpose, it's best delivery style, it's most powerful presentation: the orchestrated soundtrack.
Every song on this album is incredibly rich, hypnotically engaging, and lyrically sparse--all of
which allow for a much more varied and deepened listening experience. Plus, the flow of this
album's songs has an even tighter weave, each song seeming to be but a single 'movement'
within the context of the whole. Bravo, Anathema! In my opinion, this is how all of your music
should be presented.5 stars for one of the most deeply engaging albums I've heard in a long time--an album I want to listen to over and over--especially for the opening and closing songs: masterpieces for the ages.
