Humanist - Humanist

Review by Trevor Christensen

Humanist's self-titled album is a powerful and introspective exploration of the human condition. With guest vocalists including Mark Lanegan, Dave Gahan, and Jim Jones, the album is a collaborative effort that showcases the depth and versatility of Humanist's musical vision.

The album opens with "Intro," a haunting instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, songs like "Kingdom" and "Mortal Eyes" explore themes of mortality and the human struggle for meaning and purpose. Lanegan's gravelly vocals on "Beast of the Nation" add a sense of urgency and danger to the track.

"Shock Collar" is a standout track, with Gahan's unmistakable voice lending a sense of longing and desperation to the lyrics. The chorus is an earworm that will stay with you long after the song has ended.

Summary by Trevor Christensen

Humanist's debut album is a stunning achievement that showcases the power of collaboration and the human experience. Fans of alternative and electronic music will find much to love here, as will anyone who appreciates thoughtful and introspective lyrics. Highly recommended.
