Flaming Row's The Pure Shine is Glorious

There are many fantastic albums that are overlooked, or not given due recognition, for one reason or another. The first and only album that I've written a review for is one of these. Thankfully, Flaming Row's latest offering isn't as marginalized. Still, I think many more people should listen to it as it's breathtaking and a great example of progressive rock. The folk sensibilities and instruments alone make this album intriguing, but it's the melodies, vocal performances, (Check out the end of the first track!) and instrumentation that make The Pure Shine "shine." (Sorry.) Really, when a 73 minute beast is perceived to be dramatically shorter than its true runtime, you know you listened to something special. The only critique I can give is that I wish there were more instrumental movements, but since this album is trying to adapt a story of a book series, it's understandable.
