Atlas Sound "Logos"

        "An Orchid" is one of a strummy texture, but the "Attic Lights" shine on the guitar like a folkie. There is some violin around 3:20 and the vocals are slightly distorted alongside the acoustic strumming. While the "Criminals" inquire the victims as to why they live the way they do "He asked me/Why do you live this way?Think of all you could have,/What I would take/Well, have you got a clue?/Why do you live this way?Why do you?/Think of all I'd take." The lyrics are great I will give thenm that and the instrumentals were good too, the vocals are slightly distorted but it sounds alright. "Kid Klimax" sounds as if one is floating through space and they hear this little voice in their head,  kinda garbled, not fully transmitting (interference). Title track has a quicker pace, and some nice ambience in the background,and the beat is nice, but has this change around 2:45 and the mumbly vocals fade away as King Logos leaves the throne; one who leads away decay and gives us the strength to persevere.  While "my halo is strange/ no cure for the pain /my body will burn/ the leaves will still turn." What kind of halo burns a hole in the sky? Only one of Bradford Cox. "Quick Canal" is no short trip! It is easily the longest song that clocks in at 8:38. It is a good driving song, one that gives people space to enjoy the song, but encourages introspection or another type of thinking. It has a nice beat and the vocals are really nice by Laetia Sadier. Just check out these lyrics: "I thought saints were born saints/ I looked in the dirt/ and found wisdom is learnt/ through a costly process/ of success and failure;" so true. "Sheila" is about a girl who can live alone together with it's message's sender. "The Light That Failed" has this nice strumming and gives the feeling of slowly paddling on the water front; this one also allows you to think as you listen. "Walkabout" reminds of that song that goes "it's alright, alright girl" again! I was looking for who wrote that song. It sounds like there is this undeniable deep bass but is under several layers of ambience/keys and this great beat with lovely vocals by Lennox(Noah). "Washington School" is a nice way to end the album.  Best Songs: Attic Lights,Criminals, Kid      Klimax, Logos, My Halo, Quick Canal, Walkabout, and Washington School.
