:: ::
:: Despite the common resemblance of every single Drudkh's ::
:: album, each has its own trait, assignable only on the one ::
:: of the albums. If "Forgotten Legends" has many epic ::
:: moments, "Autumn Aurora" performs pure atmosphere, "The ::
:: Swan Road" was the presentation of raw and unpolished ::
:: black, "Blood In Our Wells" copies the second one just ::
:: mixed with more quiet and interesting sounding, then ::
:: "Estrangenment" has melancholic, even depressive mid- ::
:: tempo/slow-tempo sound together with extremely monotonous ::
:: tunes played on the same frequency and pitch. ::
:: ::
:: Okay, after my doubtful words about the stylistics of the ::
:: album, it might seem that the reason of misunderstanding ::
:: and disparagement of this album is clear and distinct ::
:: ('cause there are too many "haters" of such a style I've ::
:: described above), but, actually, "Estrangement" doesn't ::
:: perform you exactly what I said. It is something else. And ::
:: there's a big complicacy to desribe it precisely. ::
:: ::
:: So, to my mind, "Estrangement" has the most harmonic ::
:: musical part. Not quiet, not tranquil - but accurately ::
:: harmonic. I don't want to be misunderstanded, but the fact ::
:: is that all of the components of Drudkh's music composes ::
:: the picture of total equivalence and compliance. It brings ::
:: everything to conformity with the realization of harmonic ::
:: conception of music. ::
:: ::
:: However, there can be noted some disadvantages. Despite the ::
:: genius and harmonic musical constituent part, we have also ::
:: rather ordinary lyrics by the way (as it may seem). Though ::
:: somebody can decide that there is just one more poetic ::
:: writing, praising Ukraine and the nature of that country, ::
:: in reality there are the works of one of the most ::
:: distinguished ukrainian poets of 20th century Oleg Ol'zhich ::
:: (actually, the last was his hobby; in practice he was one ::
:: of the leaders of ukrainian nationalists equally with ::
:: Stepan Bandera, whom Drudkh have dedicated the album "Blood ::
:: In Our Wells"). So, we can understand that, while musicians ::
:: declare about their indifference to the political theme, ::
:: they are real patriots of native country. ::
