Rings of Saturn - Lugal Ki En
As usual, can't understand a single bit of the lyrics, and I don't really mind anyway. Maybe it's actually just gibberish like the album title. Regardless, this is one of the lightest-sounding death metal albums I've heard in a while. I don't know if it's the production or the instrumentation itself, but as opposed to most modern metal bands which sound sort of wall of sound-ish, this one is rather tame in comparison. It doesn't have that pummeling-you-into-the-ground feel that Death Metal fans love. Which is fine for me as I'm not much of a death metal fan myself. To be honest, this sounds more like digital hardcore than death metal. The guitars and drums sound extremely manipulated, which they very well may be...
Overall, this album has some pretty interesting ideas, a wealth of good songwriting, talented performances, but a bit of poor production and occasionally a dip into blandness. 7/10
In my favorite albums of all time list:
Chicago - Chicago Transit Authority
Rings of Saturn - Lugal Ki En
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Float Along - Fill Your Lungs
P.S. YOU COWARD!!! YOU COWARD!
