Also, with nine full-length songs, it is technically longer that most LPs. But, regardless, Michael Knott is back and this EP is a great collection of songs. But it&#8217;s kind of hard to pinpoint why exactly &#8211; it is Knott doing some acoustic and some alt rock. A little experimental at times, a little pop at times. It even has won praise from some fans that didn&#8217;t quite like <em>PTSD<\/em> or <em>Heaven High<\/em>. I liked both, by the way &#8211; it&#8217;s just that this album is different than those, while still a familiar mix of <em>Strip Cycle<\/em>, <em>Rocket and a Bomb<\/em>, and <em>Life of David<\/em>. Songs like &#8220;Army&#8221; and &#8220;Love &amp; Money&#8221; have a good amount of rock and guitar bite, while songs like &#8220;Dream Into You&#8221; that are haunting and beautiful. Also, Knott&#8217;s previously released song &#8220;Photographs in Time&#8221; is included here as well. Unfortunately, the limited edition CD-R copies seem to be all sold out, but you can still listen and buy the digital version on BandCamp.<\/p>\n[2021 Independent | Purchase: <a href=\"https:\/\/hilldegmaria.bandcamp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BandCamp<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the date on this one says &#8220;2021,&#8221; it was actually released at the end of December and many see this as a 2022 release.
