Paatos - V (2012)

 

The fifth album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, programming and vocals.

This forty minutes long albums is really only an EP with four new tracks, fleshed out to a full album with four remixes of older songs. We then get eight songs altogether.

The band ditched the dream pop and neo-prog from the 2011 album Breathing (see review). The music here is a blend of art-rock and heavy prog. 

The vocals is still female vocals and they are good. The heavy guitars is more dominating this time around though and the sound is more naked and far more muscular.

The songs are not really up to their normal standard. The remixes are OK'ish while the new songs are not really cutting the mustard.

The quality is somewhere between decent and good. I hope their brand new album is better than this and a review will be published later this month.

2.5 points
