Cynic - Traced in Air

Traced in Air is, the Progressive Metal band, cynic's second release. For those unfamiliar with cynic, the band is well known for fusing together Jazz and metal flawlessly. Traced in air moves away from the technical death metal influences of there first release and into a more melodic advant grade experimental aproach. Unlike other bands that try this rout, traced in air brings the band to new creative hights. The vocals are mainly robotic v-coder and while it takes a while to get used to soon fits into the picture. Overall the album is excellent, however it is slightly front loaded, the second half isn't bad its just more experimental with mixed results. Another weakness is the length, clocking in at 34 minutes the album could use some more songs.

A: 93%
