Jan 7, 2011I bought the album after hearing the singles. Looking forward to hear it, I was a tad disappointed. The songs are all pretty similar. They're all executed professionally and are at a high standard but sometimes it is just like listening to a 45 minute song.

Sep 4, 2010Room for improvement, but a modern-day Depeche Mode could be in the works here.
My picks for the album are 'Clarion Call', 'Halcyon', 'Counterpoint' and 'Red Lights'. -
MarkB.Jan 26, 2010Acolyte is a good album with plenty to get excited about. Opening track of Clarion Call is energetic and with the album featuring fan favourites such as Counterpoint and Doubt; They wont be disappointed with the album! A few other stand out tracks are Halcyon and Submission. Acolyte may not grab you on your first listen but after a few times you will enjoy. A solid debut album.

Dec 13, 2010Perhaps they're learning that keeping things pared down to three minutes as opposed to eight might just mean their next effort is a classic. For now, the blueprint is there. It's just a case of tinkering with the numbers.

Delphic is at its best on the pop-leaning cut "Doubt" and the captivating "Halcyon," which features a cold vocal delivery and scattershot synths.

From a palette of familiar reference points, they've created a fresh, vital sound that could prove to be the basis of an impressive career.
