Western Rebel Alliance - Western Rebel Alliance

Overall I think this album is good. I'm not dissapointed because I knew it was never going to live up to what I wanted. But I just feel like if they had put more effort into this and made a few decisions differently that this could have been fantastic and a contender for album of the year. It just seems a bit lazy, 2 previously released tracks and 1 which is basically a previously track, shortened and vocalised. The 6 new tracks (at least new to me) are all very varied and apart from the too jazzy 'crazy' I do like them all in there way.
Although they are varied they still flow together quite well. Not amazingly but better than ramdom thoughts just thrown together. My main dissapointment was the length. The tracks get progressively longer throughout the album but the last and longest track is still under 7 minutes and being only 9 tracks the album is just 52 minutes in length. Having put 3 old tracks on the album I wish they put Slewake on it too as that is my favourite Western Rebel Alliance track ever and one of my favourite all time tracks too.

So it's a good album but it could easily have been a lot better.

Favourite Tracks are #4 Falling and #8 Fly.
