Floater has been a bit of a legend in the northwest for 17 years and counting. With little to no recognition from outside the area, they've managed to continuously make a living selling tons of albums around the area and always filling the house with their infamous live shows. The majority of my close family absolutely loves this band, and it's always a favorite to pop into the stereo. You won't hear one person in the house complain, which isn't too common.
Glyph is Floater's second studio album, and is probably their most popular one to date. This album goes back and forth between loud bombastic head-bangers and slower, anxious, sometimes sad songs. The former being great songs to blast and rock out to, the latter being so intense feeling you'll get lost in it and let the music drive your emotions, at times being reminiscent of Pink Floyd's The Wall in their tone. The large contrast on this 70 minute experience should keep you reigned in the whole time. Particularly the beginning and end of the album will leave an impression on you. I know every time I hear "Crawl Into You" I immediately want to start the album all over again with "The Knowing Dirge"
You may not love this album your first listen, I didn't, but give it a few listens and I'm sure you won't regret it.
Highlights: The Knowing Dirge, All the Stories But One, Crawling Into You.

You did this to yourself again.
Gunning for a bluer sky.
Swallowed the dose,
cut your own rope,
just to know it all.
Do you know it all?
Thanks! :D
