Born Of Osiris has really outdone themselves on The Discovery. Their first two pieces of work The New Reign and A Higher Place were both albums that I enjoyed thoroughly. Lets just say, The Discovery blows the doors off of their previous work.
The Discovery is the most mature Born Of Osiris record to date. The music is much more complex, technical and progressive. It's pretty amazing the growth Born Of Osiris is able to pull off from album to album. The music has advanced greatly on each record and The Discovery is easily the most musically complex Born Of Osiris record to date. Born Of Osiris wastes no time impressing the listener with the albums opening one-two punch of "Follow The Signs" and "Singularity". "Follow The Signs" starts off with fast guitarwork, much improved drumming and catchy synths. You can notice the advancement immediately. "Singularity" is even better. The immense keyboards and the fantastic guitar soloing are able to create this epic sound that sticks throughout the record. The overall musicianship has improved tremendously, especially the guitars and keyboards. The addition of guitar player Jason Richardson (ex-All Shall Perish) has really enhanced the guitarwork,The solos are amazing. "Recreate" and "Behold" contain what are easily some of the best guitar solos I've heard in recent memory. The synths are also epic. The experimentation with hip-hop style beats and music-box style keyboards really add this fascinating dynamic to Born Of Osiris's sound. The keyboard melodies are gorgeous,haunting, and memorable. The production is also much improved. A Higher Place had muddled drums that got lost in the mix and the sound wasn't that clear. The Discovery benefits from crisp production and the mix sounds great this time around.
The Discovery is easily the best work from Born Of Osiris. They are able to make a tremendous leap forward in their sound. It's a far more complex,fast,progressive, and mature sound than their previous material. Every song is great and has their own set of unique benefits. The overall musicianship across the board is improved greatly. The addition of Jason Richardson has payed off big time, the guitarwork is outstanding. The Discovery has set the bar insanely high for Born Of Osiris's peers. Their deathcore sound is still in place, but they are able to add so many refreshing and interesting things to the sound. The Discovery is deathcore perfected.
