Description/Reviews:
One of Rhine’s greatest achievements is that, despite their transitions between heavy, soft, jazzy, or even post-rock and noise, it all somehow comes together. On first listen it can seem like quite a scattergun approach, but as you go back for more you find yourself acclimatising, increasingly adept at piecing it all together. This particularly applies to the record’s second half where, despite what has come before it, Rhine manages to throw another curveball and genuinely surprise the listener. It is on this second half that Devin Townsend’s influence becomes obvious, and the band show that you shouldn’t take them too seriously. Listeners can expect noise, folky, gang-vocal choruses, progressive power metal guitar work, and even classical elements; with harpsichord, wind and brass instrumentation briefly transporting the listener to the royal courts of 17th century Europe. Yet, arguably nothing is as surprising as the final track.
