These guys sound sort of like Damiera, with the wild tapping and dreamlike guitar effects. But honestly i prefer this record, and this band. I just downloaded this, its playing as we speak.
It's pretty freakin' sweet, try it on for size.

Going to stop being lazy and give this an actual review. As i began with last time this record certainly has an interesting consistency. Some where between absolute depression, and a tiresome fist fight lies this bold push by As Cities Burn. Lyrically it's perceptive, the song Made to Pretty for example "We don't want a God we don't see in ourselves don't see we're in need /I think we were made too pretty/We're caught up in a stare and we can't break." I still think Come Now Sleep is a great record, but am willing to admit this is a substantial leap in the right direction for a band i had completely written off. Cheers.

Ok, so about a year and a half ago this nasty rumor starts circulating that my favorite band of all time MTB is breaking up. So the result of this is, they drop their old Keyboardist and make possibly their best record yet. Honestly its just gorgeous from start to finish from the super chill of Ice Monster to the sexy feel of White Mystery. Songs like Throwing Shapes and Knights are solid.
Just an A+.
