This CD actually starts with the spoken words of how all of the sounds you will hear on this CD are made by the human voice. But as you listen carefully and read the booklet, you'll find that there are actually instruments on here.
I think why they come on and tell you that is because the voices on this CD is what powers it most; they are what fuels it.
The musical side of this CD is decent, but in all honesty, you don't really hear it. Whereas bands can get caught up in the guitar solos and just huge musical sounds, the Badger King takes me back to the day of old before I really knew what music was comprised of: drums and guitars.
Such compelling and moving vocal melodies make it so that you can not really hear the other musical aspects. They're there, and they accompany the vocals very well, but they are doing something music hasn't done in a while and just kind of staying in the background, where some would argue the music belongs.
To get into the actual musical sounds would be pointless. You don't need to know what the guitars, drums or keyboards are doing. It doesn't matter because when you put this on, you won't hear them. Well, you will hear them, they just won't be your main focus. You'll be more concerned with what the vocals are doing.
The second song- "You Are a Great Beast"- actually offers some of the best vocal characteristics my feeble ears have heard in a long time. If you don't fall in love with that track as much as me, there are still sixteen others to choose from.
