Every heard one song and liked it so much that you bought the whole album just because of that one song? That's happened to me many times but in this case Sound of Settling didn't make the whole album a let down.
Transatlanticism (the album) starts with a loud song that proclaims that "This is the new year" When The New Year is over it trails into a soft song about Lightness which is beautifully peaceful. This album is something I always look for, songs with great lyrics, can be loud and soft and no matter how long a song is I'm never bored of it. The song after which the album is named, Transatlanticism, goes for 7 minutes and 55 seconds and tells the story of how the atlantic ocean was made. Where as Death of an Interior Decorator tells the story of a mother, her three daughters, their father and his lover. The songs are so different yet so familiar and I have been known to start singing A Lack of Color on the way to science. Another reason to love the album is it tells you a lot of useful things " And when I see you I really see you upside down, but my brain knows better it picks you up and turns you around."
The complete product is a range of feelings wrapped together to make Transatlanticism, an album to dance, cry, sing, sleep and live to.
For that I give it: 9.5/10
The lyrics and hidden meanings behind the songs mean not everyone likes it but I truly did.
