Pure Reason Revolution – Above Cirrus
InsideOut Music
8,5/10,0
Brief:
Emerging from one unknown and diving headfirst into another, Pure Reason Revolution return with the successor to their landmark comeback record, ‘Eupnea’.
On ‘Above Cirrus’, the band continues many of the musical through lines that fans have come to expect; maintaining a balance between somber reflection and intrepid exploration, leading listeners through a shapeshifting collection of seven tracks that evoke a range of emotions.
On the songs “Our Prism” and “New Kind of Evil”, the energy reaches magnificent heights of guitar-led catharsis, rivaling the best efforts of acts like Tool and Filter, while offerings in “Lucid” and “Dead Butterfly” meld the group’s keyboard-centric song-structures with vast, epic soundscapes that will welcome audiences of acts like Muse and Porcupine Tree. But, unlike its predecessor, ‘Above Cirrus’ is far from a narrative driven concept record.
