UMUR
"Perspectives" is the second full-length studio album by Canadian industrial death metal act Inner Thought. The album was released through Witchhunt Records in 1995. It´s the successor to "Worldly Separation" from 1993. Inner Thought is a one-man project featuring Bobby Sadzak who performs all guitars, keyboards, and drum programming. The growling/high pitched screaming vocals on this album are performed by Dennis Balesdent. The remaining instruments and occasional female vocals are performed by sessions/guest musicians.

Listening to "Perspectives" is could almost seem like Sadzak had read my review of "Worldly Separation", because some of my issues with that album have been solved on "Perspectives". The sound production is heavier and the music is generally more dark and brutal than on the debut album and less ethereal and dominated by keyboards. Of course there are still keyboards in the music and the drums are also still programmed, but Sadzak have found a better balance on "Perspectives".

The churning heavy riffs and rhythms, the aggressive growling vocals, and they atmosphere enhancing keyboards and lead guitar parts go hand and hand on this album and don´t feel disconnected. So while this isn´t a masterpiece recording by any means, it´s a good quality release which is certainly worth a listen to two. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
