大躍進 в стиле пост-рок
А все-таки второй альбом у Red Sparowes вышел мощнее первого. И не только по длине песен и их названий. :) Red Sparowes сохранили густой звук At the Soundless Dawn и распрощались с самоповторами дебютного альбома. Композиции Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun расцвели богатством мелодий и ритмов. От альбома не оторваться. Его не пустить фоновой музыкой - все равно не сможешь ничего делать, кроме как слушать: от вступления на басу с "The Great Leap Forward..." к гигантской волне крещендо "Like the Howling Glory..." и дальше, пока не стихнут риффы "Finally, as That Blazing Sun..."
- А как вам "Mechanical Sounds Cascaded Through the City Walls and Everyone Reveled in Their Ignorance"?
- Недурно, недурно, но "Buildings Began to Stretch Wide Across the Sky, And the Air Filled With A Reddish Glow" получше будет, а уж до "We Stood Transfixed in Blank Devotion as Our Leader Spoke to Us, Looking Down On Our Mute Faces With a Great, Raging, and Unseeing Eye." ей как до Пекина пешком.
