Caligula's Horse - In Contact

[sergio]

hey fellas, what you think of this new release? I like the way it kicks in... blam! I hear some seriously monumental riffs there. Even the spoken bit, tho weird, builds up tension for the following number. Have only done one pass. There is a lot to digest. Vallen is superb on guitars. Bass isn't articulated enough in given musical context, imho. Grey shines throughout as per usual. I'll be doing more spins...

[doh]

It needs more spins for me, but after each listen I like a new song or two. It didn't grab me as immediately as Bloom, but has the potential to surpass it. Requiring multiple listens is almost a requirement to being a good album.

Tracks 7 and 9 are outstanding! 9 is ground breaking with those hints of middle east harmonies (as seen on the Tide...) and 7 is awesome in it's 3/4... Minor gripe with #10, which is a tad stretched out and no major hook there. #1 and 2 are superb (especially #2). #5 is as good as it gets (mainstream CH track. But that gritty bass is missing...
