Title: A fantastic, refreshing album!
Review: I've heard the term "Heavy Soul" thrown around a lot when talking about Maktub, and it seems to fit. This is lush R+B/neo soul with touches of rock guitar and feedback. After wading through dozens of cookie-cutter pop-punk and emo bands, it's great to hear a band just do what they want without trying to fit into one specific genre. The result...it certainly works for me! The band and arrangements are super tight, but the thing that hits me the most are the vocals. You really, really have to be able to sing to pull of a style like this, and luckily Maktub's vocalist is more than up to the task. The production in spots reminds me of some 90s R+B, and while I wasn't a fan of much of that stuff, in this context it works really well. The songs are thick with pumping bass and kick drum and topped off with crunchy guitar and warm-sounding keyboard/organ. I'm very happy I bought this, it's a great album and I listen to it frequently. Highly reccomended!
