5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing, May 3, 2005

By	Herodotos Economides "Bereft" (Limassol, N/A Cyprus) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In This Room (Audio CD)

While "Painting on Glass" was their first move away from metal, "In This Room" features the total escape from that field and the focus on a more experimental edge moving into a more jazzy type of atmospheric music. As always, The 3rd and the Mortal provide all around great songs while each track is different from each other in style. The first track "Stream" is an experimental track with piano and electric guitar effects. The same implies for the tracks "Harvest" and "Sleep", two of the best songs on this album, powered by the amazing vocals by Ann-Mari Edvarsen. It's great to see that she hasn't lost any of the strength she had on "Painting on Glass", and proves that rather well especially on the track "Did You" where she screams like crazy! The songs "Monody" and "A Touch Of..." are small instrumentals, rather ambient and some of the best I have ever heard. The drums and the bass are on a somewhat jazzy rhythm while the guitars and keyboards form a nice atmosphere, together with Ann-Mari's chants. Other jazz influences can be heard on the tracks "So Pure" and "Sophisticated Vampires", some of the more experimental songs of this album. Unfortunately, Ann-Mari Edvarsen left the band shortly after this release as did Kari Rueslatten earlier. Nevertheless, I'll just end this by saying this is one of my favorite albums ever and is highly recommended. Proceed with caution though as some of the tracks here are very experimental and might set you off !

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, July 11, 2005

By	the czar (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In This Room (Audio CD)

This is the only band that I really like with a female vocalist.
Yes, the Gathering are ok, but all the others are boring.
This is one of my favorite bands!
Their drummer is amazing, probably the best "metal"(although not very metal)drummers in the world.
