Darkness, Imprisoning Mix
It was a loooong week, complete with a late recording, and now a late posting. We may not be on our A-game in this one, but some of our releases are, well close. I guess we have between a B-C game going here. I’ll stop rambling…just check out the new music.

At The Gates – To Drink from the Night Itself
The first 10 to 15 minutes that I listen to the album ‘To Drink From the Night Itself’ by At The Gates, I have the reaction of “Yes! This is awesome!” At some point about 20 to 25 minutes into this album, my mind starts to wander and stops paying close attention to the music. By about 30 to 40 minutes of this, I’ve had enough. There are some solid songs in the first half of this album, but by the end the songs start to sound the same and I’m ready to listen to something else (though that last song is a little different, it doesn’t seem to be good enough to warrant many repeated listens).
Yup. You nailed it.
