CIRCADIAN

I first want to start off by saying that this album is super cool and it was a lot of fun to listen to. I love the virtuosic guitar playing, the fast drums and the really nice bass lines. The bass solo in "Vantablack" is super sick, and I love how they put both saxophone and what sounded to me like marimbas in "D.O.S.E. I thought that the whole vibe of the album was really nice, it had fast tempo the whole way through and really nice melodies, I mean, this is about as good as instrumental progressive metal gets. That being said, my main issue with this album is the originality. Though it was super cool, most of the time it sounded what you would expect to hear from a video game soundtrack. Besides the few moments mentioned above, there was very little that made this album better than any of the other albums like it. It had the same old sweeping guitar, fast mostly kick drum percussion, and the same djenting guitar in the background. I don't really think that this album was super unique, but in spite of that I still like it a lot. I would defiantly recommend this album to anyone who likes the typical instrumental progressive metal sound, but if you are looking for something unique, this album isn't for you.
