Description/Review

The multi-part “A Slow Descent Into Reality” takes a somewhat sharp turn from the opening track, which opens with a piano ballad that would easily fit onto Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. But just when you think you know where it’s going, the song quickly dives down an unexpected rabbit hole full of complex arrangements, featuring everything from delicate acoustic guitar passages, to majestic choral arrangements, to a frantic, organ-driven jam section with plenty of odd-time signatures. Perhaps most satisfying, however, is Atkinson’s whirling Mellotron dervish starting at the 9:50 mark, which builds into a haunting King Crimson-style crescendo.
