13: Maserati - Pyramid of the Sun
Maserati is one of those bands that i've known about for years but only started listening to earlier this year. Their hyper-technical, delay laden groove oriented post-rock is as unique as it is impressive. Pyramid of the Sun is no different in this regard, however it succeeds in reducing any of their past efforts to mere exercises. Pyramid covers so much ground in it's mere eight tracks, everything from rock-based grooves to thick synth-prog math rock. Every song on the record is an experience and even more so a time piece, documenting the last works of late drummer, Jerry Fuchs. His precise and powerful playing is immediately felt from the opening to the last measure of the closer. While it's a shame to know that this is the last we will ever hear from him, it's comforting to know that he left such a brilliant piece of work behind. Everything about the records soars above past works and stands as a testament to the players passion and abilities.
