Apocalyptica: Reflections
Managed to acquire the new Apocalyptica album Reflections. This one has some excellent music and is a really good follow up album to CULT. The group is very good at walking the line between Metal and Classical music.
I'd say that this album's sound isn't quite as heavy as the previous one CULT, but I do think it's more refined and has improved in a few areas. The music is more original and they have moved away from being a Metallica cover band. They have also grown beyond just being a cello quartet by adding more instruments like drums, violins, and piano.
I like the whole album so far but I'd say my favorite tracks are Far Away, Somewhere Around Nothing, Conclusion, and Epilogue. These songs are really strong on that rich acoustic string/bow sound I like.
Unfortunately this isn't released in the U.S. yet. However I took a recommendation and purchased it through Amazon-Canada. It was actually reasonable near normal CD prices and I dodged the outrageaus import price.
