Screamo band Corea, hailing from Spain (lol?), dropped this great album in '04. They fall under that screamo/post-rock category, with bands like Envy and City of Caterpillar. Corea differs quite a bit from these two bands though. The post-rock parts in their songs are really unique, with some unconventional and complex clean guitar playing. Also, Corea adds noise elements to some of the songs on this album. Sounds like it really wouldn't work in the middle of a screamo album, but underneath the wall of noise are some beautiful guitar melodies and singing (this would be on track 6, entitled "Siete Kilometros"). There are moments of absolute brilliance on this album, but there are some mildly dull moments. Still an impressive record overall.
