The album with the weird name from one of the big English
doom bands My Dying Bride is also a very experimentive recording with an
unusual sound. This was the only album the band did in this new style, for
their next album they pretty much returned to their older sound. The music on
34.788%... is thicker than before, more chaotic and noisier although
there is still a lot of their old sound there - melodic, heavy and sharp
riffs. However, the lyrics and music is still tearfilled with painful sorrow
and misery. I have always been weak for sharp, simple riffs and therefore I
find The Stance of Evander Sinoue and Base Level Erotica to be
the best songs on this album, actually two of the band's best songs ever!
Heroin Chic is also a very nice slow disillusioned song about drug
abuse. The band has managed to make the music perfect for the drug theme.
Aaron has now left the growling vocals he used to do on earlier albums, now he
has started using a clear deep-throat voice, almost spoken. My Dying Bride is
a band that continues to explore human misery and torment and this is yet
another great release from them. It was recorded at Academy Studios in
Dewsbury, engineered and produced by Mags from Peaceville. He was assisted by
the band's guitarist Calvin who also helped him out mixing it. If you like
heavy, melodic doom this is definitely an album worth
buying!
