[2009] Absu, "Absu"

Why?: A very recent purchase. I love 2011's "Abzu" and I'm very much looking forward to the future"Apsu" album.

Tell me more!:
It's great. I can't say much more than I've already said in my Abzu review.

I'd have to be slightly negative and say "Absu" doesn't have a lot of what I enjoyed about "Abzu". It's less cohesive, has less of what I probably unkindly called "the humour" of the later album. It has more songs, and they're probably more varied than "Abzu", which I like, but I don't get as much of a "full album" feel as I get from "Abzu".

The new album is on the way, and weirdly, they've apparently released a single through Adult Swim.

Absu don't do happy endings.

Absu, "Hall Of The Masters"
