God I wish i could somehow learn to like this and all the other songs on the album. But i cant. Im a huge UM fan, have been for years (saw them when i thought was their peak many many times around 05) but just cant seem to get into these tracks. Help me
"Mantis" (the song) starts out wonderfully with a very aggressive instrumental section that feels like a close cousin to "Wizard Burial Ground". And even when the vocals start you can't help but feel like you're in for something really special. But the song never really delivers like it should.
The 11 minutes end up feeling like several 3-minute songs just spliced together. Now, in addition to the terrific intro, the final 3 or so minutes of "Mantis" are also very strong, but parts of the song (I'm thinking particularly about the bit from about 3:30 to 4:50) are downright awful. Bayliss gets a little too fancy with the vocal harmonization and much of his delivery simply sounds out of key.
