on I, Fail, The Spectacle takes things to the next level. they use much of the heavy and gritty crust sound of previous releases, but favour far more experimental compositions that incorporates eastern influences as well as a much wider utilization of their core instruments. they have the more modern chord progressions of screamo bands such as City of Caterpillar and Circle Takes the Square. but amidst all of the screamo-like guitars and snare-focused upbeat drumming is a spiritual or magical presence. this is devastating sludge. when they break away from the crust chains and play the mesmerising acoustic guitars and hypnotising battle drums, you feel like you are in the middle of an epic middle-age tale. and perhaps you indeed are? this album is timeless and beautiful like no other album ever made. if you are a fan of epic rock/metal bands, then you will absolutely absorb this album, and refuse to listen to anything else than this for the next few days (or weeks). because this is a monster of an album that deserves the attention of everyone. listen to this!
