So I gave De-Loused a listen last night. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I don't listen to much progressive rock, so the style of it was somewhat unfamiliar and took a little bit to sort of catch on (emphasis on the 'little,' though). I was pretty much sold on it before it was half done. Vocal-wise I'm not entirely behind, I don't like it when the guy starts wailing too much, but there are some excellent melodies in a lot of places that tend to more than make up for it; and again they are for the most part really solid.

Favourites after a few listens are "Drunkship of Lanterns" and "Eriatarka." I also like "Televators," it's just something a little different that I think helps in making the record not seem too frantic.

For some reason it reminded me of Forgive Durden, I think it has something to do with the somewhat frantic and clashy-ness of the music, yet somehow it all ends up flowing together, even if it seems like it should just sound like a big mess. Though the two aren't really that much alike in...well, any respects, really.

It's a solid album though, I really enjoy it. Thanks for reccing it...however long ago that happened.
