On some songs like "Observe the Train," the song is straight pop ballad, but the prog roots come The pop sensibilities make the melodies and songwriting take center stage, as it None of the songs here feel like "selling out," they feel like a band that is truly combining Many dislike the pop / crossover approach of the early parts of the album, but to me it feels like a band that isĮmbracing evolution. Solberg is able to pull off the full range of pop / R&B acrobatics along with his metal angst, and the band uses both. Strong to mind-blowing, and whether you liked it or not, the band was using that asset to full effect. Einar Solberg's voice had moved from very Vastly talented but yet to find their sound. Of which I think deserves to be an essential part of any record collection, and one that really made me love this littleĭelicious Crossover Prog and the one of the best Prog Metal Epics of All TimeĪ decade ago when I was a PA regular, I reviewed two of Leprous' early albums and in both I said that the band was It holds, not only the band's mostĬoncise and well rounded sound yet, but also really showcases them as immaculate prog superstars.
I will say that if you want to check out Motorpsycho, start with this album. Immaculate soundscapes that I just absolutely love, it all just makes this album from amazing to almost perfect in my These psychedelic wonderfests that give off a very Hawkwind feel to the entire thing. Motorpsycho's cream of the crop of epics, with soundscapes that feel very ethereal that bend and weave through Obviously, the main attraction this album brings is the 17 minute epic of Ratcatcher. It all creates this very dynamic sounding record that isĭifferent, but familiar in the Motorpsycho line-up, which I really love since I can fully take in the absolute power these Lively, almost bluesy songs that take a very summery feel on life. That kind of sound a bit like Sleep or Boris, with fun psych rock jams similar to Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd, and very Here, we get them really working out the kinks of the previous psychedelic records, and put a lot moreĮmphasis on the bizarreness of the whole psychedelic movement, creating a range of styles from heavy stoner rock That is why they are considered eclectic prog on Even when they make a more "back to basics" record like this, theyĪlways find a way to craft something completely new each time. However, do not let this discourage you, because in my opinion this is the best Motorpsycho albumĮver, and one of my favorite albums of all time. Prog push in sound and style, the band would do a 180 and go back to their more psychedelic jams within Still Life One year after the band's massive hit of The Death Defying Unicorn, which showcases the band forming a more avant.
