Re: Band: Pelican
22I've given it one spin so far. I'm a big Pelican fan and it didn't grab me. Reminds me of City of Echoes which I rarely come back to. Hopefully I'll get it after some relistens.

28I think the Adobe-heavy heavy aesthetic thing had already occurred a bit earlier, like later '90s Hydra Head releases. I think several of these bands had graphic designers in them and it was an inescapable look for a bit:
