Virus - The Agent That Shapes The Desert Review

Virus The Agent That Shapes The Desert 2011

A little more different than The Black Flux, this record settles into a very calculated logical orientation. I feel as though this record feels lonely, isolated, hunted, and judged. A great deal of the songs themselves have a discordant expositions, and mixing more of a looser playability seemed to really highlight Czral's guitar style this time.

At the midway point, the record settles into a very relaxed aspect, churning out each bit into throngs and pallets of emotion. It is rhythmic as hell, and though it doesn't fit the standard of groove expectation, it has something else that I admire, it sounds like nothing else out there.

The Agent That Shapes The Desert there's an unsureness but an unknown vibe that is sprinkled throughout. Though I believe this gets record pushes another evolution of Virus's 'sound', and that is pretty cool. It isn't what is expected and that I think works.

This is a record that feels traveled, and conflicted. For the atmosphere really does take some getting used to, and that is just fine for me. Its not supposed to be something that just pops or is accepted right away, it takes a little time, and it grows on you. Give it a try. Thanks for reading.
