Incredible album, should be listened from start to finish. Disc 2 is instrumentals.

1: Slow buildup then a gritty drop with distorted voices. A sense of foreboding. Male lead vocals.
2: * Driving bass with a middle eastern tinge. One of the best tracks.
3: Whispy melodies. Very atmospheric while still having a heavy beat.
4: Interesting wailing vocals.
5: * This track just rocks. Takes some time to pick up speed but once it does, you really "Can't Stop!" Dubsteppy beat.
6: An ambient/folk "palette cleanser" as it were. Shortest track on album.
7: Vocal duet, male and female. Ponderous, powerful, and depressing.
8: Strings provide a textured background without letting the bass overwhelm. Falsetto male vocals, which sound a bit like Thom Yorke.
9: * Forget drum solos and guitar solos, violin solos are where it's at!
10: Strings start this one out. Another tragic nostalgic song, full of regret.
11: Similar Middle Eastern tinge as track 2. Second half of the song is very different. Much less bass, and a sorrowful piano plays us out.
End scene. Exit stage left. Bravo. : D
