On the track 'Paloma' Reyes misses an easy opportunity to shine as he chooses not to use a warmer, more welcoming sound that would complement his soft playing better.

These could have been much improved by the introduction of additional instrumentation to provide some highlights. You go from talking about his playing to bringing up Chon's guitarists and then to the drummer.

I put this review together during the first 4 or so times of listening to it, so at the nestis I believe I still had a measure of objectivity. Oh and mostly yeah, but I'm also a big fan of prog or experimental stuff.

As Calc said, this seems to focus more on the negative than the positive so if this is indeed a four make sure that you point out the things it does well too. Reyes utilizes a heavily saturated guitar sound throughout much of the album. Good job with the review!

He also succeeds in arranging these songs nicely, allowing for an accessible, easy flow. I totally agree with you about the guitar having almost a slap bass tone in some sections.

It certainly helps approaching the former with a similar mentality as that of the latter. It did not attempt to be intimidatingly heavy, nor overtly complex. Reyes' most powerful weapon in creating a unique, engaging sound is, without a doubt, his songwriting. However, they're consistently extremely low in the mix.

What is entirely lacking from this album is the brass-section that was so prominent on 'Basal Ganglia'. The magazine features a whole host of quality bands every month, as well as original features, reviews and more!

ALBUM REVIEW: Mestis – Polysemy

These factors combined lead to a mfstis metal, less jazzy or latin listening experience than on the EP 'Basal Ganglia'. It really helps add some color to this album. I see what you mean about the downsides polysmey the His agenda seems to be to underline and support the guitar-driven songs as effectively and creatively as possible without ever stealing the spotlight.

And if you do make the effort of seeking them out actively, you'll find them invariably to be sonically bland and basically obsolete. Not least of course from the musical output of the other progressive metal band Reyes is a part of - Animals As Leaders.

I guess i though it'd be more engaging for a reader to be told that this is a really beautiful album but elaborate more on the short-comings, so they know what to expect.
