Review of Specter At The Feast [Deluxe Packaging]

Does not shine over the new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club The band wanted to play it safe for Specter At The Feast, without undue risk from the point of view of the songwriting. In the aftermath of the previous Beat The Devil's Tattoo (2010), we were all convinced that the trio had found the security and freshness composition that stood out in the beautiful lush Howl (2005).

Certainly also worth mentioning Some Kind Of Ghost, anchored in the late sixties with unidentified fumes that surround and captivate instantly as the song unfolds.

Experiments at the edge of shoegaze (Returning) and folk ballads a bit 'too ethereal (Lullaby or the more compact Sometimes The Light) do not however quite perplexed, same goes for a tracklist that includes the most interesting moments well after the first pieces, which usually serve to positively affect the listener and which in this case does not involve at all. Safe enough, but you could do better
