User Album Review
Whereas A Perfect Absolution was cinematic and grandiose, loping across a huge swath of musical ground, this album is less adventurous but more focused, exploring a fast-paced crystalline riffing style. The songs are more immediate, but have to trade off individuality in order to do so. That’s not to say that the band have abandoned wacky hi-jinks, though. There’s plenty of head-scratching to be done over excellent songs like “An Order to Reclaim.” Led by Benoit Claus’ funky bass, it’s one of the catchiest songs the band has ever written and somehow manages to be incredibly heavy while flipping the bird at anything resembling traditional death metal. Not only is the bass theme ripped straight out of some cheesy Bossa Nova song, the chorus features off-beat guitar strums a la my least favorite genre, Ska. Only Gorod could conceive of this sort of absurdity, and only Gorod could pull it off.
What’s more, A Maze of Recycled Creeds is sonically unique; Gorod‘s guitars have been getting progressively cleaner since Leading Vision, and this is their least distorted tone yet; the album has tons of space in the mix because the guitars don’t dominate the low-end frequencies, which makes the bass shine and the drums pop naturally. It doesn’t sound heavy unless the band is playing something heavy, so the album feels very dynamic and taut.
