That isn't the only song, he also did the vocals Contaminate me. It's kind of ridiculous that any of you would expect their to be lots of harsh vocals on a Leprous album.
Einar still does harsher vocals, even on the newer stuff.but I wouldn't call them 'growlies'. I'm reminded of something Maynard from Tool said when fans kept complaining about them not being heavy enough after 10,000 Days came out. I believe it was something along the lines of progressing as a band and as people. He goes on to explain that their old albums are still there for you to listen to if you want angry Tool.or in your case, Leprous.
I actually don't mind when some of these bands go for a more arena rock sound. Dream the Electric Sheep's newest is great. I have 100 great mind bending albums in rotation, why not a few poppier ones just to belt out on summer days? If you can pull that off my hat's off. That being said I wouldn't expect leprous down that path anytime soon.
They don't just have a minimalism to them but an off beat strangeness. I can see anyone I know digging agent fresco if they gave it a chance. Leprous is more of an acquired taste imo. I listened to the leak three times today and what struck me is the Leprous - Agent Fresco convergence. Khuda jaane ye kya hua hai mp3 song youtube.
AF's most recent record was much more Leprous-like, and this Leprous record is AF-like in a lot of respects. That said, there's snippets of Bilateral-style riffs, melodies and chord progressions, too (eg Weight of Disaster). Plus real strings.
There's a lot going on. But no truly heavy song. Congregation had some doozies. Malina is lighter. In a way it's a more 'vocal' or song oriented record with more discreet nerd prog breakdowns. I was worried Einar had gone off the deep end with the vocal melismatics you hear on the live record (the word 'me' has like 4 syllables when he sings, like 'mayeeheeye'), which I can't stand. But reassuringly he sounds like his own amazing self throughout Malina.
I had very high hopes and was afraid I'd be bitterly disappointed after such amazing records as Coal and TC. I am not disappointed in the least. Whether this is a 8.5, 9 or 10 is still TBD but it's definitely at least an 8/10.
