Pro General Comments: Up, down, and all around. Strap yourself in. "Awake" is the quintessential sonic ride. You'll leave the planet flying through space guided only by the melodic, liquid floaty guitars... until the pounding drums and screaming guitars crush it, blasting you out beyond the stratosphere to the edge of the galaxy. Are you "Awake" yet? It's a cosmos of contrast, brilliantly executed.While being more experimental than their usual musical compositions, Samsara has succeeded in pushing the envelope of their creative expression. And boy do they do it. This track has it all. There's passionate intimacy in the verse vocals, leading to a wide, open, and expansive chorus. And, if that's not enough, there's a special treat waiting in the breakdown. It's an artfully crafted dream sequence of sounds and musical textures until the guitars explode so big you can see the stars flying everywhere. Then you know... "this can't go on!" to quote their lyric.Samsara isn't fooling around. They know exactly what they're doing. And they're doing it so well. There's so much raw emotion in the performances. It's everything a song should be.
