Thrash/Classical? Thats right, this album is probably the most unique thrash album I've ever heard. The first 2 songs are great slow paced proggy thrash songs but things really start to get interesting with songs 3-8. Mekong Delta have managed to almost seamlessly meld thrash instrumentation with classical song structure and and instrumentation resulting in a completely unique experience. This is the polar opposite of some Yngwie character shredding his fingertips off in a baroque chord patttern, it's more like Wagner with double kick and riffing guitars. The last 2 songs are upbeat thrash songs with great dreamy melodies that perfectly cap off this weird album, a very interesting listen.Track Listings
