THE FALL OF BLISS

Methexis from Greece is one man project aka Nikitas Kissonas with some help of a drumer. He released in 2011 the first offer named The fall of bliss. Well, I didn't know what to expect from this band and album when first aproach it and expectations were not high, really. It turning to be so, because this type of so called prog these days is not for me, I mean I never liked Poercupine Tree or Anathema , and here we get a lor from those two bands, so the result is simply and concise, I don't like this album almost at all. I have nothing against this band or musician but the music offered by Methexis to my ears is almost boring with little spectacular moments. I sure appreciated the hard work this guy put on, specially when is almost one man project , with a little help from a drumer. No piece is specificaly in front or better one to other. To much mellow passages and indie rock in atmosphere that remind me of PT a lot. So I will be drastic this time and sorry for that but is impossible for me, 2.5 stars to this one, I don't get the hype of this band has got around and how the hell someone can give 5 stars to this one, is beyond me.
