Tommy Rogers, of Between the Buried and Me fame, has solo record out now under his birth name Thomas Giles.
You have to listen to it.
It's titled Pulse and it's quite a piece of work. The songs span a healthy variety of (predominantly non-metal) genres, keeping each spin engaging. It would only be a disservice for me to enumerate their characteristics here, and it's best that you investigate the record in its entirety without any preconceptions. Rogers is a talented dude and your ears are in good hands with him. If it means anything, I would put Steven Wilson's Insurgentes on the same wavelength as Pulse. Both fabulous triumphs of musical beauty and eclecticism. Dig it.
This song can give you a momentary glimpse into the album, but it is truly meant to be experienced as a whole. A requirement you don't come across often anymore. After all, it seems as if the art of the cohesive album has similarly gone the way of grandma's cookbook. (and that's out the window in case you haven't read any past posts)
Let's see if we can change that. Remember that idea that every dollar is a vote?
