"I though it was impossible, but Evën Sh'siyah has managed to come out with a 2nd album that is even better than their first album. From the first track, it's easy to hear how that band has matured and really come together. The band's musical arrangements have reached amazing heights in richness and complexity, and the performances are excellent as usual. This album is truly on an entirely new level.Evën Sh'siyah is to my knowledge the ONLY band the writes and plays original Jewish music in the style of American classic rock, with some middle-eastern influences thrown in, and manages to do it all while singing in Hebrew. Although a person might think that the Hebrew lyrics would make it harder to get into the songs, I had the exact opposite experience.The music is so original and creative and the songs are just so cohesive! Within a few listens you'll find yourself hooked on the songs, playing them over and over again, and you won;t be able to imagine the songs not being in Hebrew.A truly excellent album that will be enjoyed by anyone that likes classic American rock and/or modern middle-eastern influenced rock."
