After almost ten years, Echolyn are back with two albums released at the same time. Both are 45 minutes in length.

The good... the sonics of these albums are amazing. Some of the best I've heard in years. If you dig the vocals and multi-layered harmonies of Echolyn, you will notice they never sounded better. Bravo mates! These are very vocal dominant albums where lots of time was spent on recording vocal tracks.

The not so good... the songwriting has mellowed. The unexpected twists and wow moments that make Echolyn's music glorious to me seem less prominent. Also, long time band mates, Paul (drums), and Thomas (bass), do not play on these new albums... and the groove that only they had is missing. Jordan does a decent job but this Echolyn lineup sounds and feels different.

Favorite songs for me are, "On We Blur" and "Tiny Star". Both energetic and playful. Overall, "Time Silent Radio vii" is a good album, not their best nor a good starting point if you're new to the band, but if you prefer the mellower Echolyn then this should be a great listen.

PA have listed both releases as one. So I give "Time Silent Radio II" three stars also.
