Song Review // 2023-07-10

Leprous

The Congregation

Rewind

Vocals

Honestly, when the vocal came in, it ruined the song for me. It has an intensity that I don't like. And the way he pronounces and repeats stuff is grading. I did like the screaming that happened in the second half.

Music

The change at around 2 minutes in was weird. I thought there was an improvement in the music at around 4 and a half minutes; it just got more energetic and more negative-sounding. I preferred this change. What can I say? I don't like stuff to be too upbeat. 

Lyrics

This feels like a cycle of an unhealthy relationship. This person feels stuck, repeating it over and over.

Build up, tear down
Set free, rewind
Set free, rewind, rewind
The circle is ending
I'm done pretending
Left behind
