You see, every so often, the global hegemony of music critics will get something completely wrong and how they treat The Crinn is one such case. Here is a band that is being forcefully dumped into the same category as Dillinger Escape Plan, Five Star Prison Cell, Psyopus and whatever other mathcore band you can think of. While technically this categorization is correct, The Crinn should in fact appeal just as much, if not moreso, to a completely different group of people. The reason for this is that The Crinn channel Atheist and Cynic without actually sounding much like either one of these bands.
Like those classics, the band makes heavy, extreme music with an exquisite technical direction that is based on a loose, jazzy framework. Dreaming Satrun does contain mathcore influences but it also has a technical death metal slant and most importantly, there is a sense of relaxed instrumental adventureousness that gels everything together and makes it flow in as unique a manner as it does. The Crinn as a band simply have a completely unique songwriting style - the strangely familiar yet alien psychedelic sense of spaciness is achieved by a superbly construced technical framework that is not technically psychedelic but does the job just as well. Overall, some songs on this album are truly capable of being total mindfucks, as if they were played by a people from a slightly warped dimension. "Voluptuous Eruptions" seems to just be a bunch of chaotic noodlings but as a whole, the song destroys with the amount of alien emotions that it subjects the listener to. Most of the other tracks here achieve the same effect, but not all of them.
Alas, only slightly marred by uneven songwriting, Dreaming Saturn is truly an album worth hearing due to The Crinn's truly unique and fresh approach. I understand that this is the first album by this band in this original style so I am sure that in the future, they will be more than capable of crafting songs insane enough to put us all in mental institutions. Here's hoping they do that - those places have the best drugs...
