Nauticus - Disappear in Blue (2018)

The third album from this band from Finland.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, glockenspiel, keyboards and guitars.

Numerous guests added their viola, cello, choirs and lead vocals to this album.

I was not a fan of their debut album. A pretty dire post-metal album. 

I do not have their second album and did not want to buy it from Bandcamp either just before my payday. 

I did have this album, Disappear In Blue.

The band has moved on from their debut album and has gone more towards post-rock and art rock. Yes, this album is indeed a crossover between those two genres. Add some goth rock too and you get it.

This album is eighty minutes long and has various male and female vocals plus some choirs. I almost believe this is a concept album or a rock opera. 

The lack of any good songs and songwriting is letting this album and band down again. The music sounds very generic and is struggling hard to get the attention from the listener.

It is an improvement on the debut album... but just about. This is a decent album and that is it.
