The Gathering - Sleepy Buildings A Semi Acoustic Evening Accessories Rarities B Sides
Review by Toni Martinez
The album Sleepy Buildings A Semi Acoustic Evening Accessories Rarities B Sides by Gathering, is a must-have for fans of the Dutch band. The album features 13 tracks, including live versions of some of their best-known songs, as well as rare B-sides and acoustic versions of some of their classics.
The album opens with "Locked Away" which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The acoustic versions of songs like "Saturnine" and "Marooned" showcase the band's versatility and the emotion they bring to their music. The live versions of "In Motion #1" and "Travel" are highlights of the album, with the band's energy and passion shining through.
The album also includes two new tracks, "Broken Glass" and "Afterwords". These songs fit perfectly with the rest of the album, and show that the band is still able to create powerful, emotional music.
