OBSCUROS

This album is quite a turnaround from Disconnect's first album (Radio Hostile). The songs are much more dense and complex, and lyrically we hear a much darker side of the band as well. Obscuros isn't a concept album as its predecessor was yet from a songwriting standpoint this album stands as a much more progressive piece of work.

Standout tracks for me are 'The Visitor', which is a great opening track for the album. This leads into 'Circadian Rhythms' which displays the band's deep Rush influence. The focus of the album is the 14-minute epic 'What Else Is Left To Say' that takes the listener through several different moods and sonic landscapes. The album closes with another great track, 'A Most Unpleasant Business'.

A great sophomore release from this prog duo that I've kept in playing rotation for nearly 6 months already...
