Antibliss have released their debut album, which they have decided to self title. This album is a very rough and raw representation of the Canadian style of indie music that has been pushing through the airwaves in recent times. These guys have a similar sound to that of a 90's alt rock band if they were acoustic driven. So if you are into raw sounding 90's rock, you could like this album. They have done an alright job. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty rough, distorted and raw way. This is however something the band was going for in the recording process, so it may throw off people who like cleaner recordings, but it reaches fans. The instrumentation on the album is pretty straight forward and simple. You can't really get much more stripped down than an acoustic and vocals, so it won't blow your mind in this way. Now onto the vocals and lyrics. The vocals on this album are not bad, you can certainly hear all the words and know just what the singer is trying to say. The negative part in here is how he seems to hold some of the notes too long and  go out of tune. Some of the effects also make it hard to hear the lyrics, but not ball all in all. With the lyrics, the band seems to go for lyrics about relationships, although you have to dig a little bit before you get that. Non traditional lyrics like this show thought went into them. These lyrics are something people can relate to, which will help the band gain fans. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album. Antibliss have made an album that is pretty bare bones and straight to the point, in the sound, while still having some complex pieces to show that there is something here. personally we would like to see more everything with this, but being a first album, it's not bad. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
