Elsewhere the sound is more lethargic, coming on in endless, crashing waves to the accompaniment of gentle, transient, searching guitar melodies, whilst other parts give way to semi-acoustic guitars, subtle trombone tones and soothing ambience that smacks of both tranquillity and loneliness.
The album title is wholly apt, as the music creates an atmosphere of vast open spaces; endless deserts; rolling oceans and tectonic plates grinding against one another over the millennea. It's both a re...more |

Australasia - Pelican: Tectonic Metal (340 words)

Rating:
'Australasia', the second full length by curiously named US sludge merchants Pelican, is an interesting exercise in progressive metal that merges the post-rock musings of 'Oceanic' era Isis with the weighty, pounding, wall-of-sound riffs championed by sludge pioneers Neurosis, backing the whole thing up with crunchy, groove-drenched, slowed-down Mastodon riffs. Most of the songs approach ten minutes in length, and the main theme of the album is momentum, which ebbs and flows throughout, slowing to a crawl and gradually building sludgy riff upon sludgy riff, increasing in tempo before plateauing upon reaching a deep, bass-heavy groove.

Very heavy, just what you expect. 
Certainly not for the faint hearted. Great fun, well executed with some excellent songs, plenty of character Not very original Old school punk rock with integrity No musical break-throughs, but they aren't everything!Wages Of Sin - Arch Enemy
More fun heavy metal disguised as death metal. Over-the-top, daft and dull in places.
The Wombats Proudly Present... A Guide To Love, Loss And Desperation - Wombats
Brilliant Debut album Has a few songs that let the album down
The Final Experiment - Ayreon
Ambitious and enthusiastic rock opera for sci-fi/fantasy fans. Confusing moral message, some really bad lyrics and some boring songs.
Stigmata - Arch Enemy
Arch Enemy ditches the pretence that they were ever really a death metal band. Overlong and often tedious songs.
Revelation - Armored Saint
Solid modern heavy metal with good vocals. Doesn't recapture the old spirit.
Minutes To Midnight - Linkin Park
Great CD, lots of great songs on it not exactly what linkin park fans are used to
Evil Is Forever - Astral Doors
An improvement with further power metal influence and epic songs done properly. Hammond organ and other hard rock throwbacks.
Anthems Of Rebellion - Arch Enemy
Angrier and more powerful direction, losing the rubbish TV game show guitars. Stands out less as a result.
Actual Fantasy - Ayreon
Approachable Ayreon without the flamboyance. Less distinctive and exciting as a result.
01011001 - Ayreon
Interesting concept and some enjoyable prog metal for Ayreon fans. Feels like a derivative step backwards, and constrained by concept.
