4 stars Coming only from experiencing Hosianna Mantra, this album appealed to me a lot quicker because of it's more driven sound. Everyone and everything that talks about Popol Vuh claims that Florian Fricke is the mastermind ringleader of the band, and I'll have to take their word for it because the piano is barely noticeable. Even on the perfect "Kyrie" it soon becomes drowned out. This is not to discredit the music in any way, mind you. From one song to the next, this is without a doubt a fluidly memorable album that also works well when analyzed one song at a time. As a person who loves catchy tunes, I was supremely delighted to hear Daniel Fichelscher's guitar work deliver some instantly classic riffs. I'm not sure which singer is the female singer, but whoever she is, she does a superbly emotional job. I could honestly listen to her sing "Harem Dei, Raram Dei" all day long.

Music stands out to me more when the album ventures through different intensities, as this one does. One song will be pleasant and the next one will literally make me wanna bang my head (not too hard) and really groove with the chords and such. There is quite a lot of music to take in with this album, and after a few listens it really grows into something spectacular. I would recommend this to anyone who is searching for something to listen to while being surrounded by nature, or if you live on a farm. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who is immediately turned off because the guitar isn't hard enough, or the chorus isn't catchy enough, or they can't understand the words. Hopefully no one reading this review, then.
