IN ABSENTIA

This album is mad. The perfectly mixed sounds of heavy guitar (from producing the last three Opeth albums maybe?), laid back guitar, kicked back melodic vocals, laced with perfect rythm. I heard about PT by watching the live Opeth DVD and hearing that Steve Wilson played in PT. This album was not what I expected, the opening riff rips through you giving a false idea of hard and heavy tunes but then it chops into a perfectly placed melodic section which sets the scene for the rest of the album. The stand out track for mine is Trains but there is not one track that I skip. It's sad that i live in the most isolated capital city on the planet (Perth, Australia) because firstly it is hard to find these sorts of album without ordering them in thening to wait for them and secondly the fact that no bands play this cornor of the planet especially the likes of PT. Highly recomended.
