Beautifully composed

If I am given this album and my eyes are kept closed not to see the CD sleeve or the computer screen and no information on who is playing the music, I will definitely refers the kind of musig this CD is in the vein of Radiohead, U2 or Muse (not really, because Muse has heavy and fast tempo tunes). Or if I can push the nevelope further, I can connect it with RPWL, Carptree, Sylvan last releases and the like. Well by describing this sort you can guess what kind of music these guys are playing in this album.

And then if the giver of the CD tells me that this is an album by a metal band. And I would spontaneusly respond: "What?!! You say this is metal man? Give me a break!". Yeah, you can test it yourself and agree with me that this is NOT a metal album at all as the music is ambient (reminds me to Pink Floyd), beutifully composed with a british pop mind. Pop? Yeah, you might consider it lake that because almost all tracks are basically easy listening - and of course enjoyable!

And finally the giver of the CD lets me know that this is an album by ANATHEMA a metal band. I would then say: Oops ..!! No wonder the album is titled "A Fine Day to Exit" (from the noisy metal music - I think. What do you think?).

Whatever category you might say about this album, it's still a very good album and it's very enjoyable - even though it sometimes gets me bored with similar vein all the way from start to end. But sometimes I need to runaway from the complexities of prog music, and this album can be as relaxing ground. It's very enjoyable music especially while sipping a cup of kopi tubruk .... Keep on proggin' ...

Peace on earth and mercy mild - GW
