Adding to this is the album’s ridiculous flow, which makes it seems like they recorded the entire thing in one solid take and simply split the songs up. Take “Sesame” and “Amends” for examples which swim through the air with a disjointed grace not many bands can harness, both balancing somewhere between methodical and raw passion, but steer clear away from sounding overworked or like sheer noise at any point. Though Touche Amore have added a lot more melody into their music on this offering, it doesn’t detract from how massive this album sounds and it’s impressive what these dudes can do as far as composition considering most of their songs don’t even reach the 2 minute mark. Before you can even blink an eye Touche Amore have already tore through four songs and are half way through the fifth, and much like a speeding car whipping around the corner, you don’t really understand what hit you until suddenly the song is done and you’re a bloody mess on the pavement. Though it boast a whopping 13 songs, the album clocks in at just under 19 minutes. But honestly, not disappointed is a modest answer to the how awed I was by “Parting The Sea Between Brightness & Me”. Being a huge fan of the band, I can safely say I was more than just a little excited when the band announced they would release a full-length on Deathwish and I somehow knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. Once again, thank you.From it’s beautiful, twinkling opening notes I could already tell that I was going to love Touche Amore’s new album. I will keep trying and trying, because practise makes perfect.
Thank you so much for the feedback, you're the nicest person that's given feedback and considering I've only got a Grade 1 Piano and that's it, I feel as if I'm not doing bad learning the rest on my own. The lyrics were pretty much made up on the spot, but again I agree they're pretty generic, but I wrote them for the purpose of listening to when I'm sad so I can remind myself that I'm doing what I've always wanted, but of course I understand your viewpoint.Īs for the vocals, they were actually quite loud, I'd say they were about mid-shout volume, most of the hiss was caused by the amount of reverb and my crappy EQ'ing at the time, but the reverb had a purpose for me, and I put it there to give an atmosphere of being alone and isolated. All the instruments were digitally made, purely because I am a home recording artist and don't have the equipment or the money to do anything else, but that is something I aim for in the future. Take in what people tell you and I'm sure someday you'll put something out that's really worth listening to.Į. Keep doing what you're doing - practice, practice, practice. That's punk rock as fuck and I admire that.

You're dedicated, I'll tell you that, and it seems you really do want to do what you're doing, even without a full level of classical training. That said, I'm sure every musician was at this level before. I'm just going to say that you really need to find a vocal style that suits you and your style of music more - the fact that it was clearly very quiet and recorded at that same quiet volume (which made a really noticable hiss appear) just made me cringe a bit. No empathy, I guess.īranching off from the lyrics, let's talk about the vocals. Pretty standard motivational fare that seemed like any passerby would iterate when faced with an individual voicing their depression. The lyrics, to me, were really cheesy and generic, and didn't really have any substance to me. Also, it was painfully obvious that they were digitally programmed, so they sounded pretty synthetic and disconnected. The instrumentals were okay, I guess, but nothing to really write home about for me. Paradise I'm going to be candid: That was really bad.
