Release Notes:
54 months is a long time to work on an album. But that is exactly how long it
took Hourglass to finish their new double album ôOblivious to the Obvious.ö Four
and a half years of writing, recording, mixing, mastering and the result is 139
minutes worth of music. Even though it is a lot of music, it is only 10 songs.
Hourglass has never worried too much about the length of their songs, and epic
songs have always been a part of what the band does. ôOblivious to the Obviousö
is no exception. The album has a little of everything, from heavy metal riffs
and screaming vocals, to laid back piano and acoustic passages, and some very
tasteful groove sections. Vocal harmonies are scattered throughout the album as
are many guitar, keyboard, and even bass solos. There is something for everyone
on ôOblivious to the Obvious.ö
