Album Review: Full Circle

The three-member band HAELOS has just recently entered my musical world, thanks to the recommended section on YouTube. As I got listening to more and more of their songs, I realized that I wanted to review their debut album Full Circle here on my blog. Managing to blend a beautiful contradiction of angelic and powerful sounds in their music, HAELOS has created a standout debut album that many listeners will eagerly consume.
Overall Full Circle is laden with masterful instrumentals and vocals, and honestly there is very little to critique about it. Perhaps the only area where the album falls just slightly short of its potential is the repetitious nature of many of the tracks. This results in a slightly insipid sound throughout the entire album, marginally dulling its brilliance.
With this being said, the album Full Circle is highly effective in just about every other aspect of its delivery. The vocals in particular are just enough in the sense that they are powerfully conveyed and filled with meaning, but do not detract from the instrumentals at all. There is also a strong sense of calmness that this album gives the listener, and it provides the perfect soundtrack to listen to while falling asleep or on a late night road trip.
The sound that HAELOS has produced with Full Circle is truly distinctive, making the album stand out from the uniformity of most mainstream music today. If you are looking for a musical artist that delivers on both amazing music and uniqueness then I would highly recommend giving this album a listen.
