The opener The Appeal & The Mind Sweep I equals a highlight of the album. Initiated Quiet listening to the great words of Rou Reynolds, which are then interrupted by an incredible synthesizer and let the song get going really. Great!
It continues with The One True Colour, which begins as a faster number and ends with a beautiful melody, also incredibly well done.
Anaesthetist shows with the chant in verse again a completely different facet of Enter Shikari and can keep the previously high level so impressive.
The Last Garrison is already longer known as first single and very well chosen as this. So the melody goes particularly well in his head and is certainly one of the more pop songs of the band, in my opinion, is another highlight.
Never Let Go Off The Microscope can me until today not really pack, although the song does have its raison d'ĂȘtre. Interesting here is mainly the atmosphere, the music, he did not blows me away.
Myopia shines especially by his incredible package and shows all the skill of the guys from St. Alban. A very good song, to the my opinion the best song of the album follows:
Torn Apart is stunning and with the best that Enter Shikari have ever written. However, can you describe the song is not really, you have to have heard him.
Bank of England is quite nice, but not really earth-shattering.
There's a Price On Your Head shows how crazy those guys are and how much they adhere to any song structures; namely not.
Quite different is the penultimate song by The Mind Sweep, Dear Future Historians ..
For me the last highlight of this album. Quiet start, epic end. And in between great cinema.
Unfortunately, the Outro The Appeal & The Mind Sweep II can not build on the Endsongs the last albums.
What runs through the entire album, are incredibly good lyrics that were written with depth, imagination and creativity. Enter Shikari use the medium of music to their beliefs, thoughts and views of the world proclaim. Whether one agrees or not is another question.
However, it is in these times certainly not self-evident that a band so the statements behind the songs is thinking and uses the opportunity to present it to the world.
Especially shame I also think that Slipshod was only available as an iTunes download and not been with draufgepackt as a bonus track.
