REVIEW

This album was a wild ride.

I was definitely wowed with opening track 'Magic Death Sea Nemesis'. The first bit was loud and powerful, a great introduction to the album but the second section of the track is much slower and more theatrical than the hectic opening, which killed my excited mood. It was revived again for a short while in the middle, before moving back into another slower section. This was a lot more enjoyable than the first slow part in that it sounded less like a musical and more like a jazz piece. The progression of the track as a whole is certainly interesting, but could absolutely be improved in making it longer and padding out the periods of change in the song.

'Pat a Dragon' is an exciting second track with a great riff and fantastic progression. The weakest moments Eunuchs' songs tend to be the slower, quieter ones, and that's the same here, but other then that short blip in the track, it's really great. I said they tended to be the slower, quieter moments as it's just a trend, but they can definitely make them work - and they do! 'Estuary of Dreams' is a much more laid-back song than the last two, but that doesn't mean it's dull by any means. It's instrumentation is, dare I say, some of the best on the album. Definitely a standout track.

On the topic of standout tracks, 'Siren' is certainly another. It is instrumentally unique, and definitely the catchiest song on the whole album. The mad devolution at the end of the song is also a great moment. All in all, it's just a really enjoyable piece of music to listen to.

'Magnificent Stallion' is one of the weaker songs on this album, but it's still very good. It feels like a very average performance from the band, but luckily the band is very good which cancels it out. The same goes for 'Gnome and Fortune', though slightly better and quite a bit longer. 'Gnome and Fortune' suffers slightly from its 6 minute runtime and would've benefitted from cutting a minute out of the middle.

The accelerando movement of 'Bird Angel Dynasty' definitely kept me on my toes, but the section near the end in which it moved down to a steady, slower tempo was poorly executed and felt like it wasn't thought out compared to the rest of the song. Whilst were talking about songs that didn't sound thought out (wow my segues are awesome today), 'Hierophant' is definitely the weakest track. I love the introduction, but the quiet part with wispy vocals that didn't suit the singer was very 'meh', and the second half of the track was just hectic, and not in a good way.

While I do appreciate the time and effort it takes to compose a long song, especially anything over 15 minutes, not everything this long is actually great. Now, 'Heroin King' is good but it isn't great. Something I've praised the band for so far is the interesting progression present in their best songs. There is none of that here. The most notable variation in the song is when the vocalist starts screaming at the end and by that point it's a lost cause. It's very repetitive and quite dull, and not something I'd want to listen to again most likely.

Harbour Century is a fantastic effort from Eunuchs, but becomes a bit of a drag toward the end. The first half of the album is brilliant though, and I will definitely revisit it. I'd absolutely recommend this.

FINAL SCORE: 86/100
