Description/Reviews:
Upon the release of singles "Perennial Philosophy", "Counterfeit Shrines" and intro song "Hidden Worship", it seemed as though Eidola stuck to a similar formula as they had become accustomed to on To Speak, to Listen - soaring guitars, downtempo verses, bombastic drumming, and prominent showcasing of Wells' gripping vocal range. The Architect as a whole embraces the established style they adopted on their previous record and rarely takes creative risks outside of this. The trusty interlude-3 song-interlude structure is at play here, with slow, atmospheric breaks in the action in the form of "Occam's Razor" and "Alchemist Ascendant" providing reprieve between the harder hitting tracks scattered throughout this album.Read the full review at sputnikmusic.com
