| Now, this is normally where we’d
go into great detail about that first song for you, since an album’s
first song is often a pretty useful indicator of what lies ahead.
Decapitated, though, start out at a brisk canter but don’t really
break into full gallop until the album’s third song, “Mother
War.” The first number, “Perfect
Dehumanisation (The Answer?),” is nice enough, doling out
its one brief guitar solo like Scrooge paying the taxman, waiting
until right near the song’s end before cracking open an elegant,
formal solo whose brevity only heightens its potency. The second song,
“Eternity Too Short,” is also pretty good; it finds the
drummer doing some quietly fusion-like turns on open cymbals, which
gives the song a more organic feel than its logorhythmic guitars would
otherwise allow it, but it doesn’t exactly burn the house down.
