Vulture Industries - The Tower

After quite weak second album, I was afraid, that Vulture Industrie won't be able to create something good as :The Dystopia Journals". However, they proved me wrong. "The tower" is definitelly their best to date and so dark and intimate. I evevn wish there would be more saxophone and jazzy parts as in "Lost among liars". Nevertheless it's one of the best this year.

The dead won't mind is a relatively weak song, but the rest are great.
Lost among liars is very good.

For me it is one of the best avant gard metal album that i ever heard and also their best album to date
A Knife Between us and Lost Among Lairs are amazing !

I've listened to, The Tower a few times so far and I'd say it's easily one of the best albums of the year. Vulture industries are new to me but hearing their other albums now, they seem solid.

Devil Doll cover bonus track, for real?

Man, the only weak moment on this album is The Dead Won't Mind. The rest is really good stuff.

I think I've just listened to the album that I will vote for in the coming MS Awards. Seriously, I doubt any other avant-garde metal band will be able to top it.

This band suffers from the same disease as Diablo Swing Orchestra and gets worse with every subsequent release.

I agree

Very good album. I fucking love the album art too <3

Bought this last week finally, should be here in the next few days and I'm super excited for it. The Tower and Lost Among Liars are killer tracks.

Ok, I've listened to this album quite a few times now, but I really don't get what makes it special. It's perfectly good music, but there's nothing that really makes me think the album is worth another try.

I have listened to their other albums and it seems like they got rid some of the things that made them experimental. Vulture Industries are still fairly unique and this is still a great album to me, but the squeaky clean production makes it lose a lot of what made the previous albums so good. nockin' it down from 9.... to 8.6 based on these startling reevaluations 0_o

One from the best albums in 2013. Hope this year will be as good as the last year.

Haha, that was how I found out about this band. I was looking around Youtube for some Devil Doll stuff and saw that cover in a live video. I was like "someone fucking did a Devil Doll cover?"
And a pretty good one too.

This album gets better every time!

Quiet astonishing take on avantgarde metal. I was more expecting a chaotic mess a la unexpect but this one is less extreme when it comes to craziness. My only complain is the production. It's quiet good but not on the same level as other elements of their music.

I like to say that this album is something a revolutionist would listen to.

Different atmosphere great album Excellent vocals and everything is cool

Its like watching a musical show

Am I the only one that likes The Dead Won't Mind? It's quirky and fun and it's only three minutes long so it doesn't drag.

That closer, though. Lost Among Liars powerful. Raises this from an 8 to a 9 alone.

IMO this sounds more interesting than their previous album. Need more listens though.

It's a good album, but after a few listens it feels like that many of these songs are too similar. There's not that much of a distinction, except for maybe "The Hound" and "The Dead Won't Mind". Anyway, I'll be definitely listening this more in the future.

Thought I'd test this out to see if it works. Used your quote from another thread to give you a notification here.

Not without reason tho! I know you like prog/avant-garde stuff so I thought I'd recommend this

Good recommendation. I've heard this album before but I don't think I made my mind up about it at the time!

Indeed, it's a weird one. Let me know when you decide

Not exactly my kind of music, but a very good album.
