THE REVIEW
When they say third time's a charm. After the success of their first two albums, the new work by the Norwegian group has finally arrived. Those expecting a decline in style and a drop in creativity will be pleasantly surprised, even though compared to their debut album "Identity", everything feels slightly heavier.
The plot follows the one already present on the previous "All rights removed" and the music, always excellently played, allows us to savor once again the well-known love for bands like Radiohead and Pink Floyd with sounds that remind us of their later period with clear references to albums like "Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "The Division Bell".
The 50 minutes of the record pleasantly flow through six tracks that begin with "Surveillance" which opens and closes the piece with a duration of about 20' - In between, there are four absolutely enjoyable tracks ranging from "Redemption" to the sweet "Silence Grows", continuing in a crescendo with "Call me back" and the title track, in a continuous change of rhythms and atmospheres, with Asle Tostrup's voice and Bjorn Riis's guitar increasingly taking center stage.
An excellent album to savor over and over again. Listen and enjoy

It draws clear influences from Radiohead and Pink Floyd, with well-executed performances. The album flows smoothly through six tracks with dynamic rhythms and strong vocals and guitar work from Asle Tostrup and Bjorn Riis. It is highly recommended for repeated listening.
