Just finished Days of the Lost from The Halo Effect. It's a quite solid album. Not likely to be a classic on the level of Colony or Projector for me, but there are a lot of cool moments I'll probably be returning to. The ending of "The Needless End" is actually rather ironic, because just as the song is ending it starts to get interesting. It was sounding like a spiritual successor to the instrumental break in "Zombie Inc.", and then just as it starts building it fades out. Ugh. I wish I was a producer on the album, building that into a proper bridge and then another final chorus (maybe with some kind of interesting variation) could have made it a standout track, but as of right now it's just a tease. In other songs there were a few intriguing clean vocal sections and at least one acoustic guitar passage, which are always welcome and tend to elevate albums for me.
