Proggy upbeat and jazzy metal meet blast beats and dark undertones Cyborg Octopus does something new and that’s a rarity these days, dare to be inventive. After being hit hard in the face from bouncy metal your brought back down with a chill mellow but still bright saxophone pulling you in to a flurry of solos and riffs before getting back to the screams. Cyborg Octopus doesn’t over extend itself either as there are only 7 tracks you need to listen to on the album for the full experience. The only track that feels a little out of place is Trash Island. Though that being said this album is so weird and brilliant I’ll let it pass because it helps break up the structure a little bit. It feels like it’s one of those songs that would play in the back of a bank robbery in a film score and batman came to mind melody wise. Felt like a chase scene. The Projector is another great song, feels like you’re flying on some weird contraption with that melody then the blast beats and vocals come in and cleans and it’s an adventure and takes you out of time letting you enjoy it without distractions the bridge is an incredible and to go into that to more blast beats is novel. Your next track starts with a piano solo, then more blast beats. Then the melodies come in and change the texture of the song just a little and proggy tones and it’s broken down even further in Hindsight. This band knows how to make amazing bridges. This album is exceptional, it dares to be different and succeeds. It embraces its weirdness and says this is who I am. Tracks like Between the Light and Air are totally different from any other track on the album. It’s a full feast for your mind and ears, high praise! .
