Absurd Minds - Noumenon

After every release from Absurd Minds the enormous longing for the next album from the band begins, I just can't get enough of them. The combination of well written music together with lyrics that totally drills its way into your heart is perfect. You could, without any exaggeration, say that you should expect to look like you sit in a freezer even though it is 30 degrees outside, just because all the goose pimples you get that can't be avoided.

'Noumenon' is absolutely not an exception. It's hard to tell if it's their best release over the years since I think all of them are truly great. What I do know is that with tracks like "Gedanken-Reich", "Regain The Throne", "Here and Now" and "Solid, Steady, Changeless" everything is just so sweet to hear. Then you shouldn't forget the 05-version of the wonderful "A Man Received The Answer" from the earlier release ''Deception''.

I want to get dressed in a costume, go out and ring at doorbells at the homes of people I don?t know. But not to talk about Jesus and his pals, I want to go out and preach about Absurd Minds.
