The week that was Aug 4 - Aug 10

pg. 99 - Document #7

This screamo band is kinda hardcore. Very harsh for me even though I listen to a lot of hardcore stuff. Nonetheless, it has the same structure with my favourite screamo band, Circle Takes the Square: 4 or 5 minutes of continuous guitar strumming with drums background then 3 minutes of vocals then back with the droning. The vocals abit better than most screamo bands I have heard. Great band even though you basically only can hear "RAWRRAWRRAWR" without the lyrics.

Great instrumental post-rock band. The album balance the melodic, quite side with trembling, loud side exceptionally well. For some reason, I feel somewhat cheeky when I listen to some of the tracks. Must be the odd time signature of the songs. The only turn off could be the name but it's a hit for me. Uplifting and melodic, great music for your ears.

The Depreciation Guild - In Her Gentle Jaws

Imagine those music from Tetris or Pac Man or Super Mario Bros. and mix them up with great rock music. That product can be said on this album. One thing I also like about this album is the dreamy vocals. It doesn't really sound like a matching couple but the band make it work spellbindingly. There were some misses in the album like some unusual synthesizers mix and musical arrangements but the pros overcome the cons easily in this album.
