Karnivool just became my favorite band. With poetic lyrics, layers of intricate guitar riffs and a tricky rhythm section that loves to toy with time signatures, Karnivool has demonstrated immense growth since their first album, Themata. They still distinctly resemble the sound they created 5 years ago, but they've evolved and refined their style. BUY THIS ALBUM RIGHT NOW.
What's great about it: This album is heavier and more progressive than their first. A definite MUST for fans of Tool and the like.
What's not so great: Not available in most stores. Liner notes do not include lyrics.
