Elder - Reflections of a Floating World (2017)

The fourth album from this band from USA.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

Two guests added steel guitar and guitar.

This band started out as a stoner rock and doom metal band. Their first three albums progressive became better and better, album by album.

The band has also become a lot more melodic and more progressive on their journey. 

Although this album was voted one of the best metal albums of 2017, it is unfair just to label this album as a metal album.

Yes, there is some doom metal here. But add a lot of psych rock and some progressive rock too and you get this album.

The vocals is good and the guitars are much improved. The same goes for their melodic sensibilities too. The psych rock adds some good flowing melodies.

The result is a very good album and an album that has elevated this band into something special.

3.5 points
