Ritual

[ProgMetalFan]

IOMA now has some Ritual audio clips up on the site (as well as Derek Sherinian and Jadis clips)... I listened to the 4 Ritual clips... hated "Explosive Paste"... but "Humble Decision" really grabbed me... it sounds rather lush and ethereal. The other 2 are quite good too... I might have to pick up this album.

Still not sure about Jadis though... sounds really happy.

What I've heard of the Ritual album is pleasant enough, combining different influences into a loose but consistent sound, and some of the arrangements are clever...nothing too groundbreaking though.

I've listened to 'Think like a mountain' a few times... and still don't know where to put it

 

[ProgMetalFan]

That could be a good thing.

Album of the year for me, so far...
