THE CONGREGATION

Man, this is really bad.... This album has excellent reviews (#1 of 2015 for PA, #6 of 2015 for RYM) and it's a prog metal album. So I really HAD to check this out. Really, I didn't like this. The musicians are good (especially the drummer who is excellent) but the compositions are not great, I don't like the vocals, the electronic instruments like synths don't fit with the music, and sometimes, the rythm or the notes are really broken, and it's sounds like a scratched vinyl disc. I really don't understand the noise around this album, it's just plainly bad. I prefer "Tall Poppy Syndrome", which is more interesting and pleasant.
