ENTANGLED

I'd say the music is really well done. The guitar playing is impressive, the keyboard work complements it nicely and the drumming is solid. The bass playing doesn't stand out in a negative way either. Compositionally the album is also very good, even if some parts may feel a bit drawn out and repetitive (filler ish) almost as if the songwriter(s) needed more ideas despite not being able to come up with enough parts. Overall, it's very nice. Kinda jazzy, but with some rockin' touches, a good balance between imaginative and atmospheric. I'd give the musical side of Entangled a thumbs up.

There is one thing that kills my enjoyment of this album. It's the vocals. TBH I can tolerate the accentuating on the wrong syllable, the off pronunciation, the constant uncomfortable wailing, the vocalist randomly breaking into spoken word and the incredibly strained vocal tone. But... the vocals are off pitch! Yes. The vocals are out of tune. Ouch! And that alone makes them unbearable. They ruin the album, I'm afraid. So, sorry folks, I can't really rate this album any higher because of this glaring flaw.
