Title: An Excellent Album
Review: This album is just a compilation of all of the songs that Native Nod ever had as a band, and for the most part, it is astounding. This band has frequently shifting guitar melodies, and driving, but not abrasive, drum beats.I'd say that as a very early band, these songs are stripped of almost everything except their emotional power. The singer's voice is sometimes sung, and sometimes a powerfully frantic wail. Often times he speaks instead of singing which, I think, gives the album a feel of a poetry reading, especially since the lyrics are based so much on personal feeling. This cd also contains the epic song "Tangled" which goes through various tempo/mood changes in its six minutes. It's probably also one of the most dramatic songs I've heard to date. All in all, the majority of these songs are examples of fine writing, and the listener feels exactly what the band wants them to feel.
Is the review positive or negative?
