great find,

This review is from: Art Of Navigating By The Stars (Audio CD)
I bought this album pretty much on impulse after reading some great reviews of it on other sites, and I must say I was impressed - possibly my favourite album of the year. I don't know if I'd really consider it metal - it has a few heavy moments, but mostly has 'clean' guitar sounds and vocals. The music is complex and technical, but isn't just notes for the sake of more notes, and there are strong melodies and hooks throughout. In some ways this album reminds me of A Pleasant Shade of Gray by Fates Warning, but a bit more mellow.

A Refreshing Surprise!,
By Russ Bellinger - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Art Of Navigating By The Stars (Audio CD)
These guys really surprised me. I had never heard of the band before and from what I've read I may not have liked their earlier CDs, but with "The Art of Navigating by the Stars" they really have accomplished something. They have created a masterpiece. I put off purchasing this CD for several months after purchasing the newest Riverside CD and being a bit disappointed. However this CD is nothing like that. It is brilliant in it's depth and scope. The vocals are simply some of the best I've heard in some time. Great vocals and lyrics. The playing is precise and very inspired. This CD reminds me of something along the lines of Glass Hammer's "Lex Rex" only without the story line. Each piece is singularly woven to the next. All I can say is that I'm sorry I didn't pick this one up last fall (2005) when it was released. Highly recommended.

Masterful!!!,
By D. West "Viking of Chaos" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Art Of Navigating By The Stars (Audio CD)
Sieges Even are basically a new band to me, although I have heard a small portion of their earlier releases. TAONBTS, is a mature and exceptional composition. The musicianship is of the highest caliber, these guys can PLAY, and the vocalist along with the vocal harmonies are sublime. Also this maybe the most wonderfully produced album I have ever heard. The production rivals Steven Wilson of PT (who I regard as the best producer working today.) It feels like Sieges Even really put everything into this album,it certainly IMHO is one of the best releases of 2005. The lyrics(which are included) are superb,when words make me think and ponder I am truly impressed. If you like music that has something to say and is conveyed beautifully.make no mistake this is sublime.Peace.

A Nice Listen,
By Jeffrey D. Elsenheimer "Still hip after all t... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Art Of Navigating By The Stars (Audio CD)
I like this, quite a bit actually. Very well- written, executed, balance of quiet and powerful. Reminds me somewhat of the Flower Kings without some of the extended musical forrays (which some I enjoy!) Also there is a hint of 90's era King Crimson: the quiet, arpeggiated guitar lines. There are no keys, which can be a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big sucker for melotron music, but sometimes I feel songs can become quite cluttered by an over- ambitious keyboard player. The guitar is pretty basic, but effective and the songs are well- constructed, with interesting lyrics (no drivel) and plenty of time signature changes to keep things interesting. Nice vocals and harmonies (a hint of older Yes.) I like a recording that leaves me with a good feeling and this one certainly does!
