Music reviews of The Ballasted Orchestra
Music Review: A different turn (but not in a bad way)
Rating: 4 Stars
This was quite a different record than the ones I've listened to before of Stars of the Lid. To clarify, I've been going backwards rather than forwards chronologically because I first heard the Tired Sounds record and then their 2007 release "and their refinement of the decline" and have been working my way back since then. I didn't really know what to expect when I bought it, but this record feels more old, like they were still feeling around for their dynamic.
This record is a lot darker sounding than the other ones I've listened to, but that's not a bad thing, just different. It feels more raw as well. I hope new listeners find this review useful, and enjoy the record!
This is my first review of something, so if you have any comments, criticism please feel free to let me know.
